Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
In 2014, as you know, China starting building islands in the South China Sea. In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine, and that was just six years after invading Georgia. Here we are, almost eight years to the week in 2014. Once again, Russia may be on the brink of invading Ukraine, and China appears to be preparing an incursion into Taiwan.
Given Russia's build-up of its naval...in its Arctic, and China's presence in our Arctic, would it be better just to focus our efforts on the Canadian Arctic, in addition to upholding our NATO commitment?
That would be for Mr. Colby.
