We are glad that it has not been shut down.

I am not sure whether to direct my question to you or to Mr. Hutchinson.

Regarding the fall 2014 report of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, chapter 3, “Marine Navigation in the Canadian Arctic”, I quote:

Overall, we found that the Canadian Coast Guard’s icebreaking presence in the Arctic is decreasing while vessel traffic is increasing.

Can you tell us why the coast guard is not as present as it should be?
