I agree, but its unlikely that the government would ever remove their signature from that, it would be a public relations disastor in terms of the green folks.
The sad thing is that the American's have LA class flight 1 subs that are being retired from their line even though there's still another 50 years worth of time on the reactors. The first flight LA class subs I believe are missing VLT's and have to fire their cruise missiles through one of the forward tubes. Canada could upgrade the sonar systems themselves.
A nuclear submarine would be perfect for Artic and long range patrols.
