Thank you very much for the question.
The Canadian Coast Guard, Transport Canada and our Government of Canada partners recognize the important role that indigenous communities, in particular first nations, play on the west coast. Through the oceans protection plan, there have been investments made to expand the participation of indigenous communities in the marine emergency response network. We are leveraging those investments to do so and growing those partnerships.
In particular, we're working on the west coast with the Council for the Advancement of Native Development Officers, for example, and we're piloting ways to understand how we can bring indigenous communities into the network to monitor wrecked, abandoned or hazardous vessels—or anything of concern—and contribute that information back to the system in order to be full partners in that.
We're also leveraging technology through Canadian firms such as BRNKL that provide us with monitoring abilities from a remote destination. We can put a kit on board that's about the size of a suitcase, unpack it and understand whether the vessel is staying in the same location, taking on water or listing—things like that. We're working very effectively, I think, to expand those partnerships and find nations that would like to partner with us on this.
