That's a very good question. Thank you.
We are working closely with Global Affairs Canada to ensure that we have an arms export system that takes into account our export objectives, but also the importance of peace objectives, as you noted. There is work that will need to be done with our colleagues. We offer our advice, but the decisions ultimately rest with the Department of Foreign Affairs.
However, I believe it is necessary for our sovereignty to diversify our exports. As a member of NATO, we have partners among the Arctic nations, with whom we have an opportunity to diversify our exports.
So, this is something we are looking at closely. We really need to focus on the work of our defence attachés and the work of international trade advisers. We are working closely together to refine our response to these challenges and to ensure that we achieve export diversification. That's the goal.
