Mr. Chair, as members will be aware, search and rescue is a partnership among a number of departments and agencies in Canada. This year DND is transferring to Parks Canada funding in the amount of about $336,000 to support an initiative called Coast Smart, which helps Parks Canada help its users manage risks by making them aware of them.
With respect to Fisheries and Oceans, it is piloting thermal-imaging and night-imaging technology on its 47-foot motorboats. We are assisting them in that pilot project. With respect to Environment Canada, we are providing funding that will allow Environment Canada to help train its volunteers in search and rescue.
