If I may just add, from our resource mix, I think we got where we are through a number of years of experience. Looking at the level of service that we're providing the government and the Canadian population, it is proper at this time; it is efficient. But that's with respect to the other players in the game, like the volunteer agencies and other government departments that share the burdens and responsibilities. Again, it's much larger than the CF. We haven't mentioned, for instance, the coast guard, and they spend an awful lot on SAR resources and activities off the coast. Again, we couldn't do that. Our navy is not mandated to that, so we can use them. The coast guard is a very important player.
