We have in fact been using a combination of C-130 Hercules aircraft and Buffalo aircraft for search and rescue for as long as I've been in the military, which is coming on 38 years now. Essentially, we had the aircraft, therefore we used them.
Certainly the project that was initiated a while back, to come up with a unique fixed-wing search and rescue aircraft, was designed in fact to give us perhaps a more efficient way of doing that.
The issue of why the project has not moved forward I guess is one of prioritization. There are an awful lot of things on our plate right now, and we will be receiving direction out of the defence policy discussions on exactly where the resources we have are going to go. Certainly I'm enthusiastic about getting that new capability at some point in the future.
As someone who has been involved in the search and rescue business for quite some time, I know it's a capability we need, but it's a question of prioritization, where it fits, and whether or not the mitigation measures we can put in place are reasonable. Therefore, all of those things are being factored into the decision on how quickly we're going to actually proceed with that.
