Great. Thanks very much.
As a member of Parliament who represents a riding that has submarine capacity and refit capacity, I've been a strong supporter of that capacity, and I think it's good that we have those discussions in public so people understand that importance. I think Canadians aren't aware of the great growth of submarine forces in the Pacific.
I want to go back now to Mr. Hansen. You said that a major step toward improving readiness would be to make humanitarian assistance and disaster relief official missions of the Canadian navy. I think that's very interesting because many people have argued that Canada is a nation with a reputation of helping internationally. Humanitarian assistance is something we do simply as part of our duties to be a good citizen. But you've connected this to readiness, and I think that's an important point that I'd like you to expand on a bit more.
