NORAD has responsibility both for airspace and for maritime domains. The Canadian Armed Forces, in a statement to The Globe and Mail at the end of February, said, “The Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces...are fully aware of recent efforts by China to conduct surveillance operations in Canadian airspace and maritime approaches utilizing dual-purpose technologies,” referring to Chinese monitoring buoys in the Arctic that were retrieved by the Canadian Armed Forces.
How many buoys were recovered, and what was the purpose of those buoys in our Arctic?
