The marine security operations centre is not run by the navy, but we are participants in it. We are an equal to all of the other five security partners.
I think all the security partners of the MSOC would benefit from a greater public and a greater legislative understanding of the role of this marine centre.
I do a lot of peddling to the region of the east coast, telling the story to the provinces so that they understand who to phone and who to trust when issues happen in their provinces.
We do a lot of bridging of provincial and federal authorities so that in a crisis we will all know how to respond as a group.
The marine security operations centre has gone from a project and is moving very quickly to its full operational capability. There will be legislative requirements in due course in that shift to operations.
