I will. I do thank the member for the question.
It's a very important point, and yes, the Canadian armed forces continually takes a look at all of the problems—the weather, the equipment we have, the number of crews we have. I will say that in comparison to Sweden—I think it was Sweden you mentioned—there are two things. One is that our geographical problem stands as a completely different problem from theirs, for the very reason you talked about. Ours is 18 million square miles, and theirs is one very small fraction of that. So we head out on operations knowing that those operations could be as long as 12 or 14 hours, and we need to equip ourselves with aircraft and capabilities that will meet that requirement.
But I will also say that I was the head of delegation during the negotiations of the Arctic SAR treaty that you spoke to, and what was very interesting is that of the eight nations that signed that treaty, Canada provides a gold standard for response into the Arctic that almost no other nation there even attempts. I didn't know that until I showed up and saw it. It spoke to the desire of other nations to team with Canada for the very reason that they believe there's a higher probability that Canada will get up to save one of their members somewhere around the Arctic circle than they may be able to do themselves. It speaks to the friendship and partnership in that treaty.
