It's nice to see you again, two days in a row.
Thank you very much for your observation.
What Bill C-12 is going to do, since it consolidates and enables, as Dr. Lackenbauer says, the Coast Guard to focus on this.... We already have very good co-operation, particularly with the Americans and their coast guard. Our Coast Guard and the Americans in Alaska are almost joined at the hip, one could almost say, and they have been able to avoid all the political uncertainty that Trump has introduced at this point.
This particular piece of legislation consolidates the ability of the Coast Guard, then, to engage. It in fact sets up the mandate, and I suspect what you'll be seeing is further development, particularly with the Americans, in terms of how the various sharing of information on a security level is able to be done.
If Bill C-12 is properly implemented—and now we get back to the issue of implementation—obviously one of the things we want to be doing with the Americans and the three other members of the Five Eyes is considering how, in fact, we can share even more sensitive security information that may have beforehand had nation-only qualifications. I think it opens up the door for very good co-operation.
