With respect to the LAVs it's difficult to add a great deal to what the minister said. We have come to the view that the vehicles we have now can be improved by simply adding more armour and by upgrading the technology, which provides for the mobility of the system but also for its weapons system. The basic reason for doing this is to improve the capacity of those members who are operating at the function and also to protect them at the same time.
