I have one final question to ask before handing over to my colleague. I believe I previously asked this when you came to meet with us, but I'm going to ask it again all the same.
As we are continuing a study on the Northwest Passage, I would like to know whether the Canadian Forces are equipped well enough for a potential rescue operation. Since the Northwest Passage is increasingly accessible, there are rising numbers of cruise ships going through the Northwest Passage.
Is there an action plan? If not, do we have enough members on strength to conduct a rescue operation involving a large number of individuals? A cruise ship is not an aircraft in which there are 5 or 10 passengers. So I would like to know what the current situation is in the event large numbers of individuals must be saved?
