Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our officials for being here today. Thank you, Mr. Hayes, for your work and that of your colleagues.
My first question is in response to what was jointly offered by officials in response to recommendation 1. In the response, it says, “We will take a risk-based approach to maritime domain awareness in the Arctic”. I suppose this is a conceptual question, but how is “risk-based” defined? What goes into that? What assumptions, what understandings, underpin that?
