Thank you so much for being here with us today. I really enjoyed listening to your testimonies. I'm also the proud representative of CFB Comox and really happy to see some of the investments that are happening in the area.
I do know that the Buffalo aircraft is really the workhorse for our 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron, and that it's really facing the end of its life. I'm frankly concerned that we're putting the lives of our servicemen and women at risk, and I don't want to see any more critical failure reports.
Canada's pacific region deserves a reliable plane, so I have a few questions related to that. What is the current delivery schedule? Can you provide a status update on the fixed-wing search and rescue aircraft testing? When do you expect all 15 of the fixed-wing search and rescue aircraft to be fully operational in RCAF squadrons?
