I'm sorry to interrupt you. That answers my question, Mr. Page.

Vice-Admiral Baines, my next question is about the Asterix supply ship, whose conversion contract was a result of the last decision of the then Conservative government. I think that was a very good idea.

It's already been almost seven years since we've had the Asterix, and the lease term is 10 years.

Since we don't have the supply ships yet, which are under construction, do you think the Royal Canadian Navy should buy it, as was planned, at the end of the 10‑year period?
