Waters was responding to Bankman-Fried’s tweets from Dec. 4 in which he appeared to treat the chair’s Dec. 2 request to attend the hearing as more optional than imperative. “Once I have finished learning and reviewing what happened, I would feel like it was my duty to appear before the committee and explain,” he wrote. “I'm not sure that will happen by the 13th. But when it does, I will testify.
Many on twitter have been critical of Waters’ requests for cooperation and relatively civil tone and are calling for Congress to use its powers to force him to comply, but others have pointed out that issuing a subpoena can create procedural loopholes for Sam’s legal team which could cause months of delays.

Canadian Rangers should have their maritime missionOTTAWA—The recent auditor general of Canada’s report on the matter of Arctic waters surveillance was both disappointing and alarming. It was disappointing because it highlights that “the government has not taken the required action to address long-standing gaps affecting its surveillance of Canada’s Arctic waters” and alarming, because soon, we could be partially blind to what is going on in this beautiful but fragile part of our country because there could very well be gaps in the replacement of critical assets such as icebreakers and space-based surveillance satellites. The report makes clear that even with the assets we have presently, we lack the ability to permanently monitor a specific site from satellites, one of our most precious security assets. Although the RADARSAT Constellation allows us to scan the whole surface of the Arctic with great accuracy, the satellites are constantly in motion and cannot maintain surveillance of a specific point of interest. One must wait for the next orbit of one of the three satellites to have another look at a potential target. The Navy and the Canadian Coast Guard ships we deploy in the Arctic over the shipping season need to cover an area greater than continental Europe. They will be days away from an incident unless they happen to be inadvertently close by. One may recall that the New Zealand vessel that illegally transited the Northwest Passage because of COVID restrictions was spotted by the Inuit Maritime Monitoring Program, a Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. initiative, as opposed to a federal program. In 2010, Enhancing The Role Of The Rangers In The Arctic: A Discussion Paper, a study commissioned by several Senators, including Senator Dennis Patterson of Nunavut and then-Senator Roméo Dallaire, recommended increasing the role of the Canadian Rangers with a maritime mission. The Canadian Rangers have this great reputation of being the eyes and ears of the Canadian Forces on the land in the Arctic. It is a proven cost-effectiv
