I have two quick questions.
One, the minister mentioned that 1,500 scientists are part of our operations, and I'd appreciate some comment on how those scientists are contributing, how we're leveraging their work. We have the West Van lab in the riding I represent, which I visited with the scientists. They're very proud of their efforts.
Two, there was a lot of discussion about the procurement strategy and the $360-million coast guard contract, widely lauded as a tribute to our national procurement. I wonder if you'd comment on the jobs and growth consequences of that. Although the contract was let to an enterprise in the riding I represent it's supposed to be good for the whole nation.
