Thank you, Monsieur Giroux, for being here today. I'm really quite interested in this as the MP from St. John's East, and of course, St. John's harbour is the home base for the Coast Guard. I see these vessels, the two that we're speaking about that are being replaced, all the time. I'm certainly well aware of their significance for Canada and our sovereignty, research and science and their presence in the Arctic. It's never been more important, so I'm quite eager to learn more and certainly to begin.
