Mr. Chair, with respect to the multi-purpose vessels and the polar icebreaker, we are in what I characterize as the definition phase of the project—the design phase of the project. We're still in conversation about efforts required ahead of pure shipbuilding efforts.
For instance, with the polar icebreaker, we are very focused right now on negotiating the contract for construction, engineering and long-lead items, and eventually getting that contract and the full design on the way. We have some cut-steel dates in the future with a focus on meeting the operational imperatives of the Canadian Coast Guard.
With respect to your question about commodity pricing, as mentioned before, it is something that we monitor closely with the shipyards. Our efforts on long-lead items and ensuring that we can order in large quantities ahead of projects are discussed in a continuous fashion with the shipyards in order to generate some economies of scale ahead of the shipbuilding efforts themselves.
