  • Canada in a New Maritime World LEADMARK 2050
    Canada in a New Maritime World LEADMARK 2050 Foreword Updated March 2017 FOREWORD “We are in the midst of a new oceanic era. Not since the great age of exploration in the 16th century have oceans played such an important role in global affairs. Unprecedented levels of commerce move across the world’s oceans, great power politics are being played out at sea, and oceans are central to the health of the global organism in an age of dramatic climate change. Moreover, we are in the process, for the first time in human history, of acquiring a new Ocean – the Arctic.” - Dr. James Boutilier, in his Vimy Award acceptance speech delivered at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, November 7, 2016. This statement by Dr. Boutilier, a prominent maritime analyst, points toward a Canadian navy that can deploy around the world, ready to meet all challenges across the spectrum of conflict, crisis and humanitarian assistance. We live in a maritime era, influenced by both traditional and emerging naval powers, with the balance of seapower shifting as investments in naval forces wax and wane. Naval budgets have increased by 60% among Asia-Pacific Vice-Admiral Ron Lloyd, centre, RIMPAC 2016 nations while Western countries continue to invest in their navies despite shrinking defence budgets. With the free flow of maritime commerce being the critical enabler of a vibrant world economy, seapower is once again taking centre stage in global affairs. In this context, the right navy for Canada needs to be deployable, and sustainable, around the world. It is within a highly charged maritime environment that we situate Leadmark 2050: Canada in a New Maritime World.
