I have seven minutes.
You will need your translation device, because I'll be speaking French--which is great, I think, in this part of the country.
This morning, I discovered your search and rescue military base, and I was most impressed with what I saw. I understand that you are quite attached to this base and that the citizens of Gander are, as well. We were given an historic overview of the base. These people are doing an absolutely exceptional job with the resources available. And I promised them that, at the end of the morning, when I had the opportunity, I would tell everyone that the base is a very important asset. As for whether it's enough, that's the question everyone's asking. This is why we're here today to listen to what you have to say.
I was also really impressed by your presentation. It's clear that you know the history of Gander and the east coast. The situation is this: given recent events and various issues, we want to focus on the problem and determine whether there is too much equipment in some places and too little in others. It's always a fine balance. There's an expression about robbing Peter to pay Paul. What needs to happen, though, is for Peter to keep his money, and for Paul's parents—in other words, the federal government—to give him more money. This is what we're thinking about.
Ray, I'm sorry, I'm making you laugh too much.
