We're looking at mid-terms, in a couple of months, that will create immense gridlock in the U.S. government. Major issues will probably not go through. In that situation, Canada will need to step up to some degree not just with our allies and partners in Asia or Europe but also domestically—for example, in looking at air defence systems.
You've seen the sort of pernicious attitude the Trump administration has had toward us over the past couple of years. I think it will be replaced by a government that will have a lot of difficulty just getting basic legislation through. Canada will need to increase its defence spending and have military outputs. In a meaningful way, that can help undergird the existing security system, which is in real trouble.
