Whitney Lackenbauer, Ph.D. and Adam Lajeunesse, Ph.D. Foreword This publication is intended to serve as a general reference document for scholars and policy-makers exploring topics in Canadian Arctic security policy since the 1970s. It provides a summary of and key quotations from major defence, foreign policy, and general policy documents and parliamentary reports related to the Arctic, beginning with the Defence in the ’70s white paper. Parliamentary reports and official policy statements set expectations and point to desired outcomes. Nevertheless, “Policy is only as good as the action it inspires,” Minister of Foreign Affairs Lawrence Cannon noted at the unveiling ceremony of Canada’s Northern Strategy in 2009. This working paper does not attempt to assess government success in implementing policies. Instead, we intend for it to serve as an accessible compendium of major official statements on sovereignty and security to help frame future policy discussion and to support more robust scholarly assessment of Canada’s Arctic record.

Defence in the 70s: White Paper on Defence Department of National Defence, August 1971. Donald S. Macdonald, the Minister of National Defence, released Defence in the 70s: White Paper on Defence in August 1971. It began declaring that “important international and domestic changes have occurred since the review of defence policy which culminated in the White Paper issued in 1964,” and these required a “fundamental reappraisal of Canadian defence policy.” The priorities for Canadian defence policy were set out in Prime Minister Trudeau’s 3 April 1969 statement, which summarized four major areas of activity for the Canadian Forces: (a) the surveillance of our own territory and coast-lines, i.e. the protection of our sovereignty; (b) the defence of North America in co-operation

  • High Arctic Theatre for All Audiences
    High Arctic theatre for all audiences WHITNEY LACKENBAUER The Globe and Mail September 14, 2010 The Arctic is cast in many roles by many people these days. The beauty of Operation Nanook, the “sovereignty and presence patrolling exercise” currently playing out in the High Arctic, is that all Canadians can and should applaud it. Some purveyors of polar peril see the Arctic as a region on the precipice of international conflict. Unsettled boundary disputes, dreams of newly accessible resources, legal uncertainties, sovereignty concerns and an alleged Arctic “arms race” point to the “use it or lose it” scenario repeatedly raised by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his government. A display of Canadian Forces capabilities certainly fits this script. Soldiers from 32 Canadian Brigade Group in Ontario, deployed north as an Arctic Response Company Group, are joined by Canadian Rangers to provide “boots on the ground” in Resolute, Pond Inlet and other Qiqiktani communities. Three naval ships, a dive team, helicopters and transport and patrol aircraft round out this visible demonstration of Canada’s military capabilities. On the other hand, commentators who emphasize that the circumpolar world is more representative of co-operation than competition can hold up Operation Nanook as an appropriate exercise of Canada’s capabilities. We are exercising our sovereignty by inviting our closest neighbours, the Danes and the Americans, to participate. We are putting aside the well-managed disputes over tiny Hans Island, the oil-rich Beaufort Sea and the Northwest Passage and working with the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Royal Danish Navy to enhance our ability to operate together.
