Mr. Chairman, the minister does not know what it will cost Canada. He does not know what its implications will be for any of our equipment or other requirements. He does not know if we will be invited or not. He does not know if the invitation will require a formal agreement or will require anything else and he tells us not to worry about Canadian sovereignty.
There was a question asked by my colleague from Dartmouth earlier about the Arctic. Does the northern command proposal have any implication at all for Canadian jurisdiction over our Arctic? Is that the reason he is taking some of the actions that he discussed in response to my colleague from Dartmouth?
