Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Certainly I welcome to the Auditor General and all the principals. It's good to see you back here again. I can assure you, on behalf of the committee, that we are thankful for the great work that you do. Certainly it is not only of short-term but long-term benefit to all Canadians. We do thank you.
I'm going to focus a little bit on search and rescue. As a matter of fact, it's of pretty significant interest to me in that, of course, I live right beside Trenton CFB. It's really a wonderful home to a lot of the SAR people. I spend a lot of time there and I have tremendous admiration for the magnificent work and dedication of our emergency personnel. When you see it firsthand, it is incredible.
I just have a few questions that I would like to ask. I understand the response times and have seen them personally, but I'm not there for all of them. Of course, in the response times of your audit, you demonstrated that our Canadian Armed Forces crews frequently surpassed the mandated response times. Can you tell us about the findings and how you would relate that?
