You've touched on a very important aspect of what the members of our armed forces.... I mentioned in my opening remarks the support Canada's Armed Forces provide whenever there's an emergency in this country. I pointed out what took place in Calgary and the surrounding areas and how our armed forces were there and ready and able to help.
Search and rescue, again, is an important and vital component of where members of our national forces assist. I don't want to say we have the longest coastline in the world, but it's got to be pretty close to it. It's a huge undertaking that we have, and there are constant challenges. So, yes, improving the ability of Canada to respond when there is a challenge is one of the vitally important aspects of what we do and what our armed forces do.
Just this past summer, I was with the Prime Minister on King William Island, and much of the briefings and the discussions that we had took place with respect to the ability of our armed forces, in conjunction with the Canadian Coast Guard and others, to respond to the challenges we have. These are unique challenges that we have, but again, I was very impressed by both the level of readiness and the commitment of the members of our armed forces to do that.
As you know, there is a quadrennial review that will be tabled soon on that, and I encourage you, of course, to have a look at that.
