The U.S. Coast Guard is a maritime law enforcement entity. It has a multi-mission that also includes search and rescue. They have a very significant presence. The RCMP has a much smaller presence. But the beauty of the construct we've developed here is that it's completely reciprocal and the commissioner and the commandant decide how these operations will be deployed. Essentially, when we deploy these operations, there are equal numbers of Canadian and U.S. vessels, which gives us the operational flexibility to operate back and forth across the border.
