Let me add to what was just stated.
First of all, as you're well aware, the Buffalo, the fixed-wing, is but one of an entire fleet of aircraft that take part in search and rescue, as we work with the coast guard, another federal agency, and provincial and municipal ground search and rescue. It's part of a total package and we've taken steps recently, as you're aware, to improve the protocol and the coordination of communication between all of those bodies.
Equipment is critically important. This is a procurement that is well behind schedule—we're conscious of that fact, and this is not said as an excuse but simply to put it in a context. There are three government departments involved in procurements such as this. It is moving through a process that has been stalled on a number of occasions.
As Mr. Fantino said, we're very aware of the need, particularly, and most importantly, for the SAR techs, to have that aircraft. These are people who perform daily heroics. They are some of the most unsung heroes in our country in uniform, in any part of our country. And I appreciate your passion for this issue, because we recognize that it is something that has to move quickly at this point. There are timeframes that have to be met.
