Committee on Defence and National Security
National Maritime Security Strategy: Department of Defence
2:00 am
Dr. Margaret Stanley:
Different aspects of this strategy look at various aspects of our maritime security. So far, we have identified about 13 specific risks we want this strategy to deal with. Several Departments, not just ourselves, will be co-operating on dealing with those risks. Much of the infrastructure the Deputy has referenced, which we refer to, is owned and operated by the private sector and industry. It will be part of the strategy and will be important to work with them as well.
