Thank you very much, Minister.
On that point, I notice that my colleague Mr. Genuis is very eager to join this conversation. I hope, Minister, that you get a chance to ask him personally whether, as the MP for his riding, he supports the Canadian dental care plan, which has provided such a benefit to thousands of residents in his riding. I'd love for you to ask him that question today if you do get a chance.
I want to move on to another subject, which is national defence. It is absolutely critical to Canada.
Minister, last month I got a chance to tour the HMCS Harry DeWolf, which is the first Arctic and offshore patrol ship—an AOPS. It was docked in Windsor-Essex. We had the entire community come out to tour this incredible ship. I got a chance to meet with Commander Jon Nicholson and his crew. They are absolutely amazing. They talked about how these investments in the AOPS, those patrol ships, are helping us to defend our Arctic sovereignty and strengthen defence.
Can you talk about the progress on the remaining vessels in this class and name any notable achievements or challenges that were encountered in the construction? It was a magnificent ship with an incredible crew. I wanted to ask for an update on that, please.
