Yes, sir.
When it comes to surveillance, again it's a part of their day-to-day presence. That, I can't stress enough, is one of the advantages we have.
When they're out on the land, out in isolated regions, if they see something unusual.... I'll just use an example from Resolute. There was a First Air aircraft crash in Resolute. Among the very first people on site were the Canadian Rangers. They were local. They were close, and they were able to respond.
They're there not just for domestic activity—there's the observation or sovereignty piece—but also for security, such as when there is unusual boat traffic or unusual aircraft fly over top, or a periscope pops up out of the ice, and those types of things happen. This type of passive surveillance is a real-time piece that's then transmitted back through the chain of command. They all recognize it as a function of their day-to-day responsibilities to do that. Unless they're purposely tasked, they are given a sovereignty patrol to conduct, which is a specific type of patrol they do in conjunction with the rest of the defence team. But normally it's a day-to-day activity to be out in the isolated region.
