Mr. Chair, the C-295 is a mature aircraft. The aircraft that we have for our fixed-wing search and rescue requirements has been modified to fulfill the operational requirement for fixed-wing search and rescue, as was mentioned in the question, to include the ability to have parachutists, search and rescue technicians, safely exit the aircraft to conduct search or rescue operations.
That testing is under way right now, and we have successfully and safely demonstrated the ability of the parachutist to exit the aircraft.
Specifically in terms of the question around centre of gravity issues, all aircraft have centre of gravity considerations and they are dealt with through appropriate operational procedures.
