National Defence committee  I'll start very generally and I'll ask Greg to supplement. The Coast Guard is planning to spend about $360.4 million over 10 years on a vessel life extension and mid-life modernization program. So that's not just on the polar; it's on all our fleet. This program was announced in

National Defence committee  Greg could give you the details about the polar, if we have it. As I said at the beginning, we're not the vessel procurement experts from the Coast Guard.

National Defence committee  The answer is yes, but as I said earlier, if traffic increases over time, at some point in the future we're going to have to look at it. But yes, currently we feel that we have.

National Defence committee  That's a good question.

National Defence committee  That's something we're going to have to look at in the future, but at the current moment we feel we have what we need.

National Defence committee  I'll start very generally, but Greg has the expertise with respect to the vessels. My understanding of the new polar icebreaker we're expecting by 2022 is that it will have the capability of spending longer periods of time up north. It is stronger and it has more capacity in term

National Defence committee  I'm sorry, I missed the first part of your question.

National Defence committee  I'm going to answer that generally, and then I'll ask Greg to provide some details. Replacement of fleet is also supplemented by maintaining the current fleet in operation until we have the new icebreakers coming in. We don't consider the replacement of icebreakers coming in, li

National Defence committee  Greg here is responsible for setting up our annual plans every year in terms of what actually goes out, so I think he's best placed to provide you with an explanation of how we determine what's appropriate in terms of service.

National Defence committee  We received the commissioner's report and we are assessing it. We will be looking at what improvements can be made to Coast Guard services in the north. You are correct that the qualification of the risk is not one of security in the north, it's everything else that we've talked

National Defence committee  I don't have that figure with me, but I will start by saying that the increased traffic qualification perhaps is overstated today. There's no doubt that at some point we're going to have to look at what assets we have to serve and address the increased risk associated with increa

National Defence committee  That's in a very large area.

National Defence committee  I would be happy to provide it.

National Defence committee  With regard to the assets, we spoke in our opening statement about the renewed vessels going into the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes, with greater capacity to support our partners, such as the RCMP. I'm not sure about the first question with respect to the specifics of

National Defence committee  Yes.
