Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our guests for being here.
I want to go back to a response you had to Mr. Fisher in talking about airlift capacities—one thing that is asked for the most. When Mr. Fadden talked to us, and obviously when we're looking at CAF, it's very expensive. You talked about contracts as well, and the fact that sometimes to get them out, it's a long process. In other words, it's not like you can turn them around as quickly as you'd like to.
Is there a possible way that you could have a memorandum of understanding or have people on retainer? I guess that's a term for lawyers. You could have some capacity, because you talk about these cyclical events and that seems to be things that happen over and over again like forest fires, flooding, etc. Talk to us. You're maybe already doing some of that stuff.
However, when we look at that critical airlift, I think Mr. Fadden would say delivery through the CAF is more expensive than potentially looking at outside. Give me your thoughts on how that all fits together.
