After reading all the incident reports, we can conclude that most incidents happen in three locations, the west coast, the east coast and at Trenton. We know those places are where all the operations start. But we were told, on a number of occasions, that we could improve the way we use the equipment. However, I will not ask your opinion because any discussion on this topic is not in your mandate.
I guess you cannot talk about standby posture either. When I say “standby posture”, I mean that between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Cormorants in Gander have to be able to take off within 30 minutes, but outside those hours, there is a 2-hour period. I think that’s completely unacceptable, especially since only 17% of incidents take place between 8 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and that’s when the response time is the fastest, yet 80% of incidents occur outside those hours.
Are you free to talk about the standby posture?
