I think I've covered most of my notes, actually. I'll close.
It's the government's responsibility to offer search and rescue. While industry can be there to back up, as Cougar was, they shouldn't be the first ones.
I want to quote from Robert Decker, who was the sole survivor of the Cougar crash, when he told the Wells inquiry what happened to him as he found himself in the water alive after the crash. This is the expectation of somebody in the water, just as it was the expectation of Mr. McDonald. Robert Decker said:
Then I guess I was anxious, because I knew my only hope was rescue by a helicopter. Obviously when the helicopter came on scene, I knew it was a Cougar.... I knew the colours. I was expecting a big search-and-rescue yellow helicopter, which I think anyone would probably anticipate.
Thank you very much. Je vous remercie.
