Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a comment, seeing that I brought up the budget issue.
I think there can be better coordination. Maybe you'll have to restructure the whole thing from search and rescue to coast guard and to other entities that are engaged in rescue and search and rescue. Maybe it's time that you looked at restructuring the whole thing so that there's better coordination.
With regard to the funding, there may be a place for the offshore industry to be a partner in terms of funding. But as the minister pointed out, I think at this point it is the responsibility of the federal government. I think if you do anything, if you look at restructuring and then look at efficiency in terms of what that restructuring can bring about, then there's the possibility that this can happen.
Again, I say that we need to...and I notice you're talking about doubling the personnel, the equipment, and so on. That should not be an issue, because we're dealing with people's lives. We have to find a way to fund a system here in St. John's. We have to find a way to fund an enhanced system in Gander. And we have to find a way to put fixed-wing in Gander, whatever the cost, because Greenwood is not the place for it if you're responding to offshore in Newfoundland, especially the east coast.
I think there's an opportunity to look at restructuring and to look at operating efficiencies. Maybe that's where you find the funding to enhance the service.
