Maybe I could add to that on the question of sovereignty. Certainly the ability to move people and materials quickly to any location is one of the great advantages. We look at such things as search and rescue or cleanup of pollution or an oil spill. One of the most difficult issues is how you accommodate people. Where do they live when they're doing this work? Trying to bring in these ATCO trailers or something for people to actually stay in while they are doing the work is a major dilemma. The airship would be able to move that kind of material in very quickly and put it down, and they could build a temporary camp and go on. So it would add greatly to our sovereignty.
