Canada proceeds with construction of naval facility in disputed NWP

摘要

Construction of Canada's Nanisivik Naval Facility could begin in 2011, bolstering the country's military presence in the disputed Northwest Passage (NWP), a National Defence spokesperson has told Jane's.rnThe initiative, which is designed to provide a berthing and refuelling hub for coastguard and naval vessels in the area, has been advancing steadily through its project construction work and could possibly commence in 2011.
