We looked at the cost of procuring these two additional ships, but we did not look at the cost of extending the life of the Louis S. St-Laurent nor of its retirement, because that was not within the scope of that report, nor did we look at the cost of operations and maintenance of these two newly acquired ships. I understand these costs would be significant over a 40-year lifespan, but we solely focused on the procurement costs of these two new polar icebreakers, and nothing on the Louis S. St-Laurent.
