National Defence committee  Thank you very much, sir. Thanks for the question, Mr. Chair. I think Admiral Auchterlonie covered it very well. To remind committee members, the NORAD modernization package that Minister Anand announced in June included a series of investments across five key areas. On the a

National Defence committee  Thanks very much, sir. Thanks for the question, Mr. Chair. I'm sorry if there's—

National Defence committee  Okay. I'm sorry. Very quickly then, Mr. Chair, we are monitoring the potential interest in this facility from potential buyers. Should a foreign company purchase the ILS hangar, it would trigger a requirement for notification under the Investment Canada Act. As of today, no no

National Defence committee  I will start, and General Huddleston might have more to add. Yes. The idea is that the Canadian contribution to the new layered surveillance system would be an Arctic over-the-horizon radar site near the Canada-U.S. border that would look to the outer reaches of Canadian territo

National Defence committee  We are in the early stages of implementation at this point, but, as I think General Pelletier said in an earlier answer, for that initial Arctic over-the-horizon radar system, we're looking to have that up and running towards the end of the 2020s.

National Defence committee  From a Canadian perspective, part of the package that was announced in June for NORAD modernization included additional investment in both earth observation satellite—that was the follow-on to the RADARSAT constellation mission I mentioned previously—and additional funding to get

National Defence committee  Thanks very much, Mr. Chair. I'll start, and I'll invite General Huddleston to chip in as well. In terms of the interaction between the future fighter and some of the investments as part of the NORAD modernization package, I mentioned new investments in infrastructure. That wi

National Defence committee  I think I'll start. I'm not sure if General Pelletier or General Huddleston will have anything to add. If I understand the question correctly, part of the NORAD modernization plan is to enhance the amount of funding that has been allocated for the replacement system for the RAD

National Defence committee  Some of the challenges the member just outlined—in terms of the Internet, clean drinking water, and housing—obviously go well above and beyond the defence mandate. There's lots of very good work going on in other government departments to get at those challenges. At the same time

National Defence committee  Thank you for your question. It is a very good question. It was in fact one of the first questions that we tackled in collaboration with the U.S. as we got the NORAD modernization effort up and running—that is, how to define exactly what we meant by NORAD modernization. Based on

National Defence committee  Thank you to the honourable member for her question. Unfortunately, I don't have those figures right now. We can perhaps take that question on notice, if that works for the member.

National Defence committee  Thank you for your question. I'll start, and then, Lieutenant-General Pelletier may have something to add. We have conducted some initial consultations with indigenous and northern communities to get a better handle on community needs and to identify areas where National Defen

National Defence committee  I'd like to thank the honourable member for his question. As the member indicated, infrastructure investments will be a big part of the NORAD modernization effort. The intention is to upgrade northern Canadian Armed Forces installations in Yellowknife, Inuvik, Iqaluit, and Goose

National Defence committee  Just very quickly, if the question is specific to underwater incursions, then I would say no. The idea there is specifically for stealth. We wouldn't necessarily expect to receive a request if it's coming from a non-allied country or competitor. Thank you.
