The coast guard is a valued service in the Arctic. We are pleased that the government has finally announced spending programs to replace aging coast guard icebreakers and increase vessel coverage in the north through the patrol ships.
What we're most concerned about as Nunavut residents is the coast guard's oil spill response capacity. There are steps being taken to locate resources in communities, in collaboration with local communities. They are early steps, and I think northern residents would want to see more happening as shipping increases with global warming, but the coast guard is making some progress in that connection.
Search and rescue is a very delicate subject. I won't opine at length, but I will say that we're on the wrong end of the geography when it comes to search and rescue by air, because the present DND bases for search and rescue in Canada are in southern Canada—Greenwood, Nova Scotia; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Comox, B.C.—far, far away from the region. There was concern about a rescue in Labrador last year. That's only halfway to the Arctic. We are even more remote. There is concern about the response time, the type of plane. Big slow planes or helicopters with limited range are not doing the job for us. There is strong concern about that.
My personal opinion is that some northern colleagues of mine have recommended that DND consider building on the infrastructure in place in the north already. There's a long-established aviation industry, infrastructure, operators, we believe could collaborate with the in-house assets of DND to get to the scene of a problem quicker.
Your third question has escaped me.
