Thank you for giving me the opportunity to clarify that point. We have estimated in-house that the navy's operations budget is about $4.5 billion per year. If we bring in the CSC, the Canadian surface combatants, operations and maintenance budget in current-year dollars—so the cost that will be incurred in years and decades to come on a comparable basis in 2022 dollars—that would eat up about $3.8 billion of the $4.5 billion. The CSC operating budget will be a significant portion of the navy's operating budget. However, that does not take into account the fact that the navy's budget may very well increase over time to accommodate the increase in costs due to the CSC. If we were to accommodate the CSC operating budget right now to make it fit within the navy's current budget, something would have to give, obviously.
