We actually have a very good working relationship with our northern neighbours, both Russia and the U.S. Our control centres and their control centres are in daily communication. Often we will use one of our SAR resources on the Great Lakes and in the Michigan area, areas in their territory. And in the north especially, part of the MAJAID plan is that we would notify the rescue coordination centre in Alaska. Undoubtedly, they would provide assistance, as we would if they had an incident in Alaska. As I say, we exercise this annually with those members. We do a communications check with Russia because they have limited English-speaking controllers, but they have enough that we can communicate as well.
