Thank you.
It's a huge challenge for the Canadian Armed Forces.
In the north there are a number of challenges we face. One of them would be training, as the chief has noted. There are infrastructure challenges in the north. There are capability challenges. The main awareness is a challenge because of the vastness of this.
In terms of specific training, we do conduct training annually in the region. We're seeing ever-increasing training across domains in the north involving the army, the navy and the air force and including our allies and partners around the globe. We conduct an annual series of exercises to make sure we're able to operate in the north, because it is a very hostile environment.
As I said, consolidating that infrastructure, that sustainment, that training and the exercising allows us to have those capabilities in the north to support Canadians.
