May I ask the colonel to send me his answer in writing?
Colonel, I'm going to read you another excerpt from the National Research Centre document. You can send me your answer in writing because you won't have time to answer.
This scenario involves an incident at the North Pole with response from Winnipeg via Resolute Bay for refuelling, landing in Alert after one-hour on-station search time. In order to satisfy the limit of 15 hours on duty, the aircraft would have to cruise at 273 kts throughout the transit portion of the flight if the incident occurred during a two-hour standby posture and 238 kts if it occurred during a 30-minute standby period. The NRC concluded that the minimum cruise speed requirement of 273 kts is indefensible, recommending a look at possibly engaging a mixed fleet of new FWSAR aircraft and H-model Hercules for the extreme long range missions to the North Pole and over the Atlantic.
I'm asking you to react to that, to consider the possibility of establishing a base in Iqaluit or Kuujjuaq, which would restrict the time required to go into the High North.
