Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is not my regular committee, but one thing I did want to say, General, having participated in the air force side of the parliamentary program, is how good that program is. It's out of Trenton and elsewhere. I did the program, and I think it's something that needs to be continued for parliamentarians. I assume a lot of people on the defence committee would have participated. I was involved somewhat with search and rescue, which is important on the east coast. There's nothing like that having that participation to give people a reasonable idea of some of the things you folks face.
Search and rescue is a critical area in Atlantic Canada, where I come from. There is some concern about the current status of the Cormorant helicopter. What is the situation with search and rescue in the future? Will the Cormorant helicopter be the mainstay? Could you look out into the future and tell us what to expect or what is needed in that area.
