I'll just follow up on Dr. Charron's comments right now about the Coast Guard and having the commissioner here. I think we should be encouraging the commissioner to show up. I hope she is on our witness list. We can have that discussion about whether she believes the Coast Guard should expand its constabulary responsibilities and duties under various pieces of legislation.
I want, first of all, to thank both of you for being here today and participating in this study we are doing.
Dr. Huebert, you mentioned the U.K., Japan, the United States, and how they are going about their shipbuilding and maritime assets that they've been able to employ. I'd like to ask you about Australia. They, too, seem to have a bipartisan approach to dealing with their white paper. They have a very ambitious shipbuilding program as well, including putting at least six submarines in the waters.
I wonder if you could talk to the Australian model and whether that should be something we're looking at here when it comes to the navy in Canada.
