Rationale
Arctic sovereignty and defence forum topics actively discussed. NORAD modernization already proposed but CAF procurement backlog and defence industrial benefits remain unaddressed. Defence debates emphasized procurement reform and domestic industrial benefits. Chain: defence_spending -> defence_procurement_backlog (-0.10, d8), norad_modernization -> arctic_sovereignty_index (+0.15, d4).
