Again, I think there are some opportunities to piggyback defence requirements, in terms of shore-based infrastructure, on resource development projects. Resource development projects provide the financing that government currently has a hard time doing in the north. Witness the fact that we have no deepwater ports there. If some or all of these projects go ahead, we will have deepwater ports, which could well become shared facilities for defence, for the military.
