If I may add, there's also something critically important here. Of course, I agree to a certain level. You don't want to simply mesh them together. On the operational side, there are all sorts of issues.
What has been a major problem, however, is that the Coast Guard has traditionally seen itself as operators. They see themselves as responding to immediate requirements, many would say with a tactical sort of mindset. I think what has been required and what Jody Thomas has been doing an outstanding job of is to bring the Coast Guard into strategic planning. In other words, the unification needs to come in via thinking in the context not just that we want the Coast Guard to respond to specific issues and that's all we think about; rather, they have to be part and parcel of the strategic response, the layered response, from the constabulary to the war-defending to the deterrent, so that they are part and parcel.
Really, the integration you're talking about has to be at the senior leadership level. Once again, I have nothing but praise for the current commissioner and the direction in which she is now trying to take the coast guard in this context. What has happened is, because no one thinks the Coast Guard operates at a strategic level, they tend to be ignored because they are so successful. We can see this in the financial difficulties they constantly find themselves in.
Once again, raise it up into an understanding. Bring the type of issue you're talking about, of integration, into the strategic vision that is necessary for thinking about the maritime defence of Canada. Once you manage to get the Coast Guard thinking in that context, you have the integration that is necessary.
I think that's the direction they're going in, and I think that would directly respond to questions of the type you're raising, sir.
