No. That again is funded out of the budget of the Department of National Defence. I referred earlier to missions that just appear, and the one in Haiti was a classic case of a response by the Canadian Forces to a natural disaster, where the decision was made in conjunction with other departments, most notably Foreign Affairs, that the humanitarian crisis was such that the Canadian Forces could play an active role, and they did. They responded literally within 24 hours. The navy on the east coast was spooled up. A frigate and a supply ship were deployed into the region, and within 48 hours of the decision we had ships en route. We also deployed aircraft with emergency supplies. We eventually set up a Role 3 hospital, so medical personnel were also present, and I can say with great confidence that we saved lives and made an enormous difference in Haiti. But those are funds that are essentially absorbed from the budget of the department.
