I'll start, Mr. Bezan, and John can follow.
I think that all of the considerations you highlighted, sir, are amongst those considerations that went into the extent of work that I had the pleasure of leading over the past few years as we looked at defining a capability that was going to be useful from the time it arrived and then through its entire life. Certainly, we're watching as the responses to the request for proposals roll in. In the meantime, our focus needs to be on ensuring that we have relevant employment for the vessels as they go forward. Here I'm talking about using and demonstrating capacity for a multi-purpose kind of vessel and retaining it in service.
The other element, as a force generator, that really gets my attention, to come back to Ms. Rempel's questions with respect to supply chain, is with regard to the advantages that are inherent in reducing the number of platforms that we have in terms of the varieties, variations, or derivatives of a platform that require specific training elements and specific supply chain elements in order to maintain naval readiness. There is advantage to having multi-purpose vessels, but that needs to be couched with consideration of the number of derivatives that would come out of that.
