In fact, a critical point of what took place down in Haiti is what you would call a completely tri-service effort. If you use the word “joint”, that expresses exactly what took place down there. We had two ships sail there to bring, first of all, a command and control capability until it was fully established ashore, so they provided that as they arrived on the scene. They provided work parties to go ashore, and at the same time, land force units were already on the ground or arriving on the ground due to the air force capability to bring them there quickly. We were all working together.
The air force basically took a landing strip in Jacmel and turned it into an operational airport under their own control, in order to give some relief to Port-au-Prince, which was completely packed and was not able to operate. The Canadian air force did that, of course working in conjunction with the ships at sea and the land forces ashore. This is a beautiful example of a joint operation that went very, very quickly. As the minister said, the day after the earthquake there was a Canadian aircraft on the ground in Port-au-Prince, and it just went from there.
