Thank you so much for joining us today.
In terms of that conversation, you talked about the role of foreign state actors as compared to the other issues that the Arctic is certainly dealing with. We have heard a lot, though, within this committee, that a lot of this idea of a “potential threat” is just that. There are a lot of guessing games that have to go on. We certainly have to be prepared for that. Our security overall has to be prepared for that.
What kind of data...? I know you can't tell us specifics. What have you seen to solidify that against the idea we have also heard in this committee that says Russia or China isn't going to come onto Arctic soil or is not going to invade Canada? Can you talk about the specifics or the hardline evidence that you see, generally?
