Canada's Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic responsibilities create a submarine-range problem comparable to Australia's. Any move toward nuclear boats would provoke a difficult Canadian political debate. SSN(R) might evolve into an Anglo-Australian project that Canada could later choose to join. This is a prospective option rather than a firm procurement forecast.

Canada could face the same nuclear-submarine range logic
Canada's ocean coverage creates a long-range submarine problem similar to Australia's, making participation in a future Anglo-Australian SSN(R) programme a plausible but speculative option.
