From an international perspective, our search and rescue responsibilities absolutely depend upon international co-operation, particularly in the North American Arctic. I can think of really close ties between the Canadian Coast Guard and the joint Arctic command in Greenland, or our partners in Alaska. Those international dimensions are essential for proper search and rescue response.
I'd also just say, though, that the connections and the co-operation among Canadian governments, departments and agencies could also stand to be improved, particularly for low-probability, high-consequence events like a mass rescue operation. That will be an “all hands on deck” situation that will require mass co-operation across the federal, territorial and regional governments, but also with our international partners.
Yes, I think there's a lot of space to improve our international engagement on search and rescue.
