Merci.
Before I start, I have to disagree with the comments of Mr. Hawn. Of course, I think any analysis would show that there's a critical need for search and rescue in the Arctic. So Mr. Byers, your statements were music to my ears. As you probably know, I have been pushing in the media and in Parliament for the last several years for search and rescue north of 60. If the commander was worried about an Airbus 330, what about a cruise ship with 3,000 passengers? That would be an even bigger job....
I think you brought up an excellent point about the risk. If you have a lifeguard in one pool and then you have another pool with no lifeguard, and you ask how many times did the public interact with a lifeguard in the pool with no lifeguard, well, the answer would be zero. You don't have any requests if you have no service there. I think that if the service was there, you'd have more requests. Second of all, in the south you've got more civilian services that can actually respond. And as you said, it's a lot warmer, so you're not going to die within an hour or two, as you might in the north. These are all factors that should add to the arguments that you were making about search and rescue in the north for both fixed-wing planes and helicopters.
Mr. Byers.
