I have a couple of points here, Mr. Chair.
Number one, just to build on the chief's answer, NATO leadership recognizes the need to maintain a technological advantage; hence, the DIANA initiative. There is a European headquarters to this in London, U.K., and in Estonia. The North American headquarters will be in Halifax—although that still has to be officially blessed through NATO governance. This really provides an opportunity for Canadian industry to step up and play a role in cutting-edge research.
The idea here is to engage industry in research and also to provide access to accelerators and test centres and really engage the full power of departmental scientists, NATO researchers, etc., with industry and universities to make sure that the cutting-edge technological advantage is maintained by the West and its allies.
There's more to come on this one, but it presents a really great opportunity not just for Canada but for Halifax in particular to be the centre, and there will be benefits for all of Canada.
