There are a couple of chapters in Justice Wells' report that deal with this in terms of what are acceptable and comparable at times when you look at what's happening in the North Sea and in Norway. So I would look to that, because they went to those regions and studied what was happening, including the substations and the coordination of activities between industry and governments and how they do that.
I'm not going to suggest that it should be 90 minutes or should be whatever. I think we should look at what the experts have already researched. But I know there's a discussion about resources. This is obviously the big thing. Where are we going to get the money to pay for this stuff, and what's acceptable?
Canada is an industrial nation. We have a lot of wealth. Our GDP is incredible and has been growing by leaps and bounds outside of that little blip in 2008 and 2009. Now we have all of this activity that's happening at sea, a lot more than we had 20 years ago when governments were grappling with these kinds of discussions and decision-making.
I really do believe it comes down to political choices. And to just leave these kinds of things up to industry could be mean then, in the case of the oil and gas industry, which has incredible resources and incredible wealth, that you get a type of search and rescue system for them, and then what do we do for everybody else? So I think the best way to build a really good search and rescue system is to pool our resources and say we're going to treat every citizen the same and every kind of industry the same, and I think that's only going to happen by having discussions with stakeholders.
One other point. As someone said--I think it was you--it's not just about taxes. Quite frankly, it is about how we collect resources from corporations and from people and what we do with them. Right now we're having these discussions in our country around things like corporate tax cuts and fighter jets and prisons and all of this kind of stuff. So I would argue that this is a very small budget item when we consider $16 billion for fighter jets and $8 billion for prisons and $6 billion in--
