Major-General Iain Huddleston (Commander, Canadian NORAD Region, Canadian Armed Forces, Department of National Defence) at the National Defence Committee

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the question.

With respect to the green hangar specifically, it is not essential to our NORAD or search and rescue operations in the north. However, it's certainly useful, as any infrastructure is in the north for things like storage or potentially larger footprints of deployed personnel and aircraft, but it is not essential to our current NORAD mandate or search and rescue mandate.
