Right now, we have the funding we need to successfully carry out search and rescue operations. As I have stated several times to this committee, our search and rescue operations are among the best in the world. A few weeks ago, we concluded an analysis of search and rescue requirements and several recommendations were made. We are currently discussing these recommendations with our partners, in particular the Coast Guard Auxiliary and DND. If this analysis revealed that we need to improve our operations, then we will certainly take steps to do that.
