| Sovereignty |
| |
Canada’s Arctic is central to our national identity as a northern nation. For thirteen years, previous Liberal governments were asleep at the switch and did nothing to assert Canada’s domain over the North.
Since coming into office, Conservatives have developed a four-pronged Arctic agenda – economic development, national sovereignty, Northern input and control, environmental protection - that will help Canada extend and defend its Arctic sovereignty.
Conservatives are establishing sovereignty over the Arctic to build a stronger, safer, better Canada.
The Conservative Record
A four-pronged Arctic Agenda:
-
Economic development – unleashing the resource-based potential of the North;
-
National sovereignty – protecting our land, airspace and territorial waters;
-
Northern input and control – ending paternalistic federal policies of past governments;
-
Environmental protection – protecting the unique Northern environment;
With concrete results:
-
Construction of eight Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships;
-
Construction of an Arctic deep water port;
-
Increased northern surveillance by the Canadian Forces;
-
Invested $20.5 million into climate change research in the Arctic; and
-
Contributed $150 million for scientific research to coincide with the International Polar Year.
