Thanks for the question, Mr. Kamp.
We're making significant progress on the polar icebreaker. As you know, Vancouver Shipyards has been awarded the non-combat package of the national shipbuilding procurement strategy. We recently signed a contract with Vancouver Shipyards to move ahead the design of the polar icebreaker.
Last year we awarded a contract to STX Canada Marine from Vancouver to do the design of our polar icebreaker. Last fall we tested a hull form in the tank at the National Research Council in St. John's, Newfoundland. We spent three months working in the ice tank there testing various hull forms and propulsion configurations.
We're getting some very exciting results. Having the input of some world-class design firms and of the shipyard in Vancouver into the design and constructability of the polar icebreaker, we're very much on track with the project to deliver that ship.
It's a fantastic opportunity for us, and a huge asset for Canada as our flagship.
