Thank you, Mr. Volpe.
I'd preface my remarks by saying, representing the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces, that we do not have an actual mandate to enforce the laws and regulations of which you speak. However, we're working day in and day out with the various government departments that do have those mandates.
As you can imagine, the Canadian Forces and the department have a variety of assets, whether they be satellites or access to satellites, aircraft, ships, and personnel—for example, the Rangers in the Arctic—that can all be used in concert with the assets that other government departments use to understand what is going on in the Arctic and to determine whether there is an incident or situation in which some enforcement may be required.
