These investments have been, and will be, very valuable going forward, both in terms of the fabrication and also where these ships will be based over time. This kind of investment certainly has been well received in Halifax. We are, at the foundation of our community, a military community. We still have a strong and committed attitude towards the Canadian military, so we applaud these kinds of investments. I'd like to see more of them.
