Le communiqué de presse a donné lieu au comité mixte permanent de la défense, qui aurait pu disparaître à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale mais qui est resté vivant à cause de la guerre qui a suivi, la guerre froide, Dieu merci, grâce à laquelle on a confirmé notre partenariat dans la défense de l'Amérique du Nord.
That news release led to the permanent joint board of defence, and while perhaps that permanent joint board could have lapsed at the end of the Second World War, we know that it did not because another war ensued — the Cold War, thank goodness, and in that Cold War the confirmation of our partnership in North American defence was established.
