Again, Mr. Chairman, I don't see the job of Commissioner of the Canadian Coast Guard as planning SAR operations in the field or planning individual environmental cleanups. I am very confident that we have strong professional people in the field to do those jobs. We have strong assistant commissioners in each region and their primary job is operations.
As commissioner, one of my key jobs is to focus on making sure the people in the field who are delivering these services have the tools, the training, and the resources to do their jobs. It is the big contribution that the commissioner of the coast guard makes.
I would certainly agree with your observation, although I am not making any comment on the Cap Rouge II. I'm not familiar with the details.
I certainly don't see myself micromanaging or trying to run individual operations from Ottawa. I think that would be a big mistake, and I don't think it's the job of the commissioner of the coast guard.
