From what I can understand, we have the Ranger program in northern Saskatchewan primarily for search and rescue. At the same time, it also enhances and complements the services of the RCMP and conservation officers who are not there.
The Ranger programs are in northern Saskatchewan specifically. They could be expanded. I think we'd like to see them expanded because of the valuable work they do to keep our communities safe.
How that translates into the military.... I know that on some search and rescue missions or in some emergencies, such as the massive forest fires we experienced in Saskatchewan a couple of years back when the army came in and assisted, many of our Rangers were part and parcel of the effort and worked quite well.
