Mr. Speaker, first of all, I just have to say, again, that the Liberals like to call the Canadian Coast Guard part of the defence menu. We have to remember that not all coast guards are treated equal. The Canadian Coast Guard is not a military or paramilitary organization, nor is it armed up. The United States' is. The U.K.'s is. Other countries that use and count their coast guards are armed up and actually provide some defensive services.
Transport Canada aircraft that count fishing vessels are included. Is that considered national defence?
