Mr. Speaker, for 75 years, our government has been an essential partner in strengthening NORAD, the only binational command in the world. We know that we live in a more dangerous world. That is why this new government has undertaken a wide array of discussions with the United States about a new security and economic relationship that would benefit both of our sovereign nations. For example, the Prime Minister recently made a $6-billion new investment in an Arctic over-the-horizon radar system.
We are actively strengthening Canada's presence in the continent, and we will build our country's national defence capabilities of all kinds.
