They are fast, but they couldn't do a hell of a lot when they got there.
Col Paul Drover
But it does one thing. To have somebody on the scene to report the situation is important, because then you have a full picture. Yes, that is absolutely correct.

The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, Colonel Drover. We appreciate your testimony. It will be useful for the members.
This concludes our sixth meeting.

I didn't want to use the question time for this, but a number of reports were referred to. I wonder if we, through the clerk, could ask the witness to provide them. They referred to these studies that were done--the basing reports and what not--and also SAR reports.
I have a question on the order paper. We talked to the deputy minister when he was here last week, and he offered full cooperation. Perhaps we can do this through the analysts as well and get some SAR reports or operations reports and things of that nature. How would you recommend, Chair, that we do that? Could we ask the clerk or the analyst, through you?

The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier
Paul, can we ask the department?
Okay, we'll have that.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, Colonel Drover.

Can I ask a question, Mr. Chairman? Approximately when will we receive more detailed information regarding the trip to the Arctic?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier
That will be at the next session, I think.
Go ahead, Mr. Hawn.

There is a challenge with Yellowknife. They have a major exercise going on at the time we notionally thought we would go, so we're trying to work out whether we can impose on the exercise or whether we have to shift the date. We should have some indication by Thursday, hopefully.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier
Thank you very much. I'll get back to you at our next meeting.
Thank you very much. This concludes our sixth meeting.
Good day.
