Foreign Affairs committee  I don't know that I could speak to licensing in the Beaufort. What I can speak to is that we have a very high level of co-operation and collaboration with the Americans in the Arctic through the Arctic Coast Guard Forum that I mentioned previously, but also bilaterally. For examp

Foreign Affairs committee  Jane, you can start, since you put the framework in place, and then we'll pick up with some comments to finish.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon to all the members of the committee. As was stated, my name is Jeff Hutchinson and I am the commissioner of the Coast Guard. I'm pleased to be here with Mario Pelletier, who is deputy commissioner of operations for the Coast Guard.

Fisheries committee  I don't want to over-promise on this. I don't know that we'd be able to break it down to the number of times the Louis had to break polar class 3 ice multi-year....

Fisheries committee  Madam Chair, the AOPS vessel is an extremely capable vessel for Arctic patrol. It's not built to be an escort icebreaker, and it's not under consideration as an escort icebreaker. I'm happy to put that in writing, as requested.

Fisheries committee  We expect to have the first of the OFSVs—offshore fisheries science vessels—in full operation for the science season that starts summer 2019. The following two OFSV ships are expected to be in full operation for the following science season. We do not have a final price on the oc

Fisheries committee  We'd be happy to provide the information that we have, subject to any confidence that may apply.

Fisheries committee  We'd be happy to provide information, Madam Clerk, and we'd be happy to provide an outline of that answer now, if that is what's being asked for.

Fisheries committee  We'd be happy to provide that.
