EXCERPT: "Prime Minister Mark Carney announced investments into the military's infrastructure and presence in the Arctic and into Nunavut infrastructure while visiting its capital of Iqaluit on Tuesday — the first domestic trip of his leadership of Canada.

Carney announced Canada will be working alongside Australia to build an early warning radar system along the Canada-U.S. border into the Arctic. Canada is investing more than $6 billion into the project, money that was already outlined in the modernization plan for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) announced in 2022.

Speaking at a news conference in Iqaluit, Carney said the Arctic Over-The-Horizon Radar system, developed with Canada's "long-standing defence and security partner," Australia, will allow Canada to "detect and respond to both air and maritime threats over our Arctic, faster and from further away." . . . . ."
