Thanks, Mr. Bezan.
With regard to NORAD, I mentioned our QRA, quick reaction alert, capability that we have at 8 Wing. That is in fact one of our two NORAD mandates. When the fighter jets based out of Bagotville are ordered to respond or pre-position, we are one of the locations at which they will pre-position. We're a very strategic location in time and space. A map would [Inaudible—Editor] that.
We are prepared at all times to receive F-18 jets and to some degree service them and maintain them with our trained expertise up to a point where Bagotville would have to deploy some of their technicians here. We're that first line of resistance.
Similarly, I mentioned that two of our CC-150 Polaris Airbus aircraft are in fact configured to provide air-to-air refuelling for our F-18 jets. They, too, are on a response posture—it is classified—to provide that capability throughout Canada.
Lastly, I don't have a lot of knowledge really as to the structure or the operations of the FOLs, but I will tell you that with our mobile air movements teams, based out of 2 Air Movements Squadron, with our ability to move personnel and equipment, as well as with our tanker capability, we are routinely used in exercises and have been activated in the past to deploy to the north or to assist with our fighter operations to deploy to the north.
