With the situational awareness in the threat environment, I think it's important to recognize that there are now many theatres of conflict—maritime for our navy, in the air for our air force and on land for our army—but what we have found is that there are two new emerging threat environments: One is cyber and the other is space.
The safety and security in the space environment for satellite communications, for our GPS systems and for things that we Canadians and our allies rely on every day, and making sure we have an ability to protect that environment and to defend our interests, are things that we and our allies all recognize we have to make significant new investments in.
As well, I think you'll also see, for example, an investment in new Arctic satellite systems and a ground station in the Arctic—that's an important recognition of the importance of the space environment—and a more than $2-billion investment in the cyber area. They're very related as well, because we have become, as a society and a country, increasingly reliant on the cyberworld, much of which is tied to space capability.
Recognizing that defending our critical infrastructure and our national interests doesn't mean merely being able to respond on land, on air and even at sea, but also in space, we will be making future investments there.
