There's only one aspect of our mandate that's a little bit different in the north from what it is south of 60. We basically deliver the same range of programs in the north as we do in the south, and we have the same responsibilities. The only difference is that under the Arctic Waters Pollution Prevention Act, the coast guard in the north is the primary responder to pollution incidents. That's the only area of our mandate where there is something specifically different.
The other thing is, obviously, the role of supply to some of the northern communities, which is something we don't do south of 60. But we would be the ones to assess what assets we have and what we need to deliver the mandate, and we would put forward from time to time requests to government for either additional assets or renewed assets. We've had some significant success, as I'm sure you're aware, in the last couple budgets. One Madame Labonté mentioned, for example, that an announcement has been made and funding provided to replace the Louis S. St-Laurent, which is our largest and most powerful icebreaker.
A second is that we received several million dollars--I believe two or three million dollars--a couple of budgets ago to increase our environmental response capacity in the north.
So we assess that, and we put forward proposals into the various processes, and the northern strategy process was one example of that.
