As announced by the Commissioner of the Canadian Coast Guard, they are waiting for the Commissioner of Official Languages' report before they close the Centre de sauvetage maritime de Québec.
The discussion in the media about the exercise that occurred in Halifax is not quite accurate. It was an exercise designed to test the limits of the system. It wasn't a pass/fail situation. We saw where we had things we needed to work on, elements of the process. It took live examples of events and compressed them, both in time and severity, just to test the limits of the system. Now we know where we have work to do.
We will not close the centre until we're confident that lives will not be at risk, and we're waiting for the Commissioner of Official Languages. We're very confident with the plans we have made.
