The general concept for the deployment of the Arctic offshore patrol ships is actually to have them based in the east. The reason for that is distance and time, to be able to transit to the north. The distance from Victoria to the north is 5,000 nautical miles. The distance from Halifax is half of that, so it's just a matter of economy of effort in space and time. So they will primarily be based on the east coast.
The plan is that during periods when the ice is opening, we will put Arctic offshore patrol vessels in the north to patrol and to provide a presence; and when the areas are closed because of the ice conditions, they will operate outside of the closed barriers of the ice and farther south.
