I spoke about the Navy for a period of time when I came back from doing the counter-piracy, counterterrorism mission in the Arabian Sea. Truthfully, you'd speak to an Ontario audience and they would often say, “What do we need a navy for? We have a bridge.” When you have so much focus on trade with the United States, it's very hard to get Canadians to understand. It's a big challenge.
