We work with all the partners as part of the partnership of the Interdepartmental Marine Security Working Group and people who feed into the Transport Canada maritime security operations centres. As an organization, the ice service looks at the Arctic every day, and occasionally we see things. When we do, and if it looks odd, we're like a neighbourhood watch; we'll report it to the appropriate agencies and departments, such as a vessel or a vessel track and things like that. We derive and turn our information from things such as Transport Canada, the Department of National Defence, the Canadian Coast Guard, and other agencies.
