Mr. Speaker, the world views Canada as an Arctic nation and is watching how we lead.
As climate and geopolitical risks emerge, our government is taking action. We are building partnerships with nordic countries, like the ICE Pact, for which Polar Max icebreakers will be built right here in Canada and in Finland. We have new Arctic radar stations to boost our defence and enhance early earning systems. We just appointed an Arctic ambassador and will have consulates in Alaska and Greenland.
These are some examples of our Arctic leadership, where we will build, protect and empower Canada's north.
