On whether we have reconsidered, first of all, I would say that the proposal is ours. When we looked at places where we could be more efficient, we did that in the summer of 2011 in preparation for budget 2012. We looked at our operations throughout the country, and the coast guard management team and I were of the opinion, after looking at everything we do, that we could ensure search and rescue services in a more efficient manner in the port of Vancouver. Therefore, the proposal to close the Kitsilano station was made, but to do so along with mitigation measures, including the seasonal station and, more importantly, by increasing the capacity of the auxiliaries in B.C., the RCMSAR. They have increased their training. They have moved the station. New ships were acquired and I am very confident today that search and rescue will be offered in a safe manner at the proper level in the port of Vancouver.
