Thank you, Ms. Romanado, and thank you for the service of your sons. We have a lot of work for them to do. I appreciate their service and I thank them.
Also, if I can just take a second, I want to applaud John's enthusiasm for the previous question. As our Arctic expert, he shows that Canada is a three-ocean navy, and we all share that passion for making sure we get the Arctic piece right.
I love your question with respect to prior learning assessments and getting training right. As I indicated in my testimony, that's absolutely vital to our delivery of capability and readiness and, more importantly, to retaining sailors, soldiers, airmen, and airwomen as we go forward. We're really looking at this revolution in the training system, which began in only the last two years, in terms of taking a cradle-to-grave look at each one of the trades, from the time someone begins all the way through, to ensure that we're not duplicating training. What we want to do then is find the most innovative systems for delivery.
Part of each of the major capital projects that are going to deliver over the next little while will have a significant training component delivered in there. We're now working to synchronize and are having the preliminary discussions with industry about what technologies we could take advantage of, but certainly, your navy—our navy—has always had a history of using simulation prior to going to sea, and simulation for everything from basic engineering tasks through to multi-threat warfare in large team simulators. That has been core to the production of the first-rate sailors, soldiers, airmen, and airwomen we've had up to now, and I see that only growing as we go into the future.
