National Defence committee  The $2.6 million are for the Canadian Armed Forces Arctic training centre at Resolute Bay. Most of the military activities involve the army. That is its training base. That said, the centre is close to the sea and accessible for the air force. The centre’s role is to support trai

National Defence committee  Yes. In addition, let’s not forget the naval facility at Nanisivik, which is under construction and renovation and will be available for the Canadian Armed Forces towards the end of 2018. Geographically, considering the distances in the Arctic, those facilities are quite close to

National Defence committee  Yes. As with all our facilities, no matter where they are, the entire armed forces can have access, whether it is the army, the navy or the air force. Each of our facilities is primarily for one of the services, but the others can always go there for training or anything else. No

It's a small team of serving officers at the moment. The extent to which that could evolve and the extent

National Defence committee  Again, not unlike your previous question, sir, the training that you're referring to is happening inside the line organizations that deliver training today. It will be supplemented and modified, as required, based on the specifics of the missions as that operational planning and

National Defence committee  A small amount of money will go to Saint-Jean in those estimates, but the bulk of it is going to RMC, based on the program that the deputy minister described earlier.

National Defence committee  I'll take that one because one of your colleagues asked the question and I misunderstood the question and the context of how it was asked. I thought it was related to Op Impact specifically but it is about an ongoing security program to make not just our physical facilities but a
