That's a very good point as well.
We want to make sure that we continue to have the capability to intervene when it is necessary. I gave you a number of examples on an international level where we have intervened and contributed. Again, I mentioned our ability to patrol and enforce our sovereignty. But you're quite correct that when a disaster takes place, if it takes place off the coast of Canada or any particular waterway, we want to have the ability and capability to intervene and do what we can to assist.
We've had a long and very proud record in this area. In my opening remarks I gave a couple of examples where the armed forces have intervened to assist and again, having the capability of the RCN to be able to do that, to help them to continue to assist in any potential disaster that might take place, to intervene where necessary, is another component of it. It's a wide range of capability that they have to have and a wide range of roles that they could be called upon to play, but, as you know, they've always stepped up to the plate, and we can be very proud of what they are doing now and what they're going to continue to do.
But, again, the shipbuilding program that we have embarked on and that I gave some details to one of your colleagues about is a very important component of that, and it's exactly what we have to have.
