Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
You are correct. There has been a reduction with regard to the patrols in the NAFO region in Atlantic Canada over the last two years, primarily due to the fact that our ships are now going through vessel life extension, which is in anticipation for the new arrival of vessels. To extend those vessels, we've had to take some vessels out of service and, due to some lengthy steel work and additional work, that has caused us to have a reduction in the number of days when we are present.
We do have a third vessel that also does provide a level of support, but unfortunately, with an aging fleet, it also went through some mechanical issues. Therefore, those days have been reduced. When we get both of those vessels back on to the NAFO in the next year or so, we'll be back up to our full 600 days per year.
