No, sir, I don't think there is. The naval refueling facility will actually be in Nanisivik, and not in Resolute. So it's more in the eastern Arctic. In fact, if you wanted to go across the Arctic through the Northwest Passage to the western Arctic, it would actually be easier to deploy from Halifax. It's a long haul across the northeast Pacific, west of the Aleutians and up around Alaska. As we look at basing in the future, we have to decide where to base our six to eight Arctic patrol ships. My sense is that we're going to want to put more of our capacity on the east coast, and we won't require a huge refueling capacity in the western Arctic.
