Yes. We have a clear understanding of the needs here for the defence of Canada and for our presence on NATO's eastern flank in Latvia. Clear requirements for air defence systems have been identified.
Our troops in Latvia are currently equipped with short‑range air defence systems. We have plans to implement other systems that must also provide medium‑range and long‑range coverage as we strengthen our military capabilities. The systems operators must also be suitably prepared. All these initiatives to build our defence systems are under way and are scheduled for completion in the coming years.
With regard to drones, we're currently using anti‑drone systems for our bases here in Canada, but also in Latvia. We're actively involved in NATO's Allied Command Transformation, which ensures that lessons learned in Ukraine are applied here in Canada.
Our services are also acquiring drones. The army, the Royal Canadian Navy, the special forces and the air force have drones with various capabilities adapted to their respective fields.
All this is certainly under way.
