Mr. Speaker, one of the problems that we get into is if it is a multi-purpose vessel, if it is going to be used for fishing and search and rescue, then it is unlikely that we would be able to access funds from the federal government with regard to search and rescue because those vessels have to meet a criteria to being able to withstand sea conditions and being seaworthy themselves. It is difficult and we will have to determine what priority the community places on either a fishing vessel, a resupply vessel or a search and rescue vessel and we will take it from there.
