You have already made a commitment to do this, so we hope we receive it by February 2013. Thank you very much for renewing your commitment.
I wanted to talk about something that my colleague Yvon Godin has already touched on briefly. It's the closure of the maritime search and rescue centre in Quebec City. I'm the MP for the Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier riding. A number of our communities are along the St. Lawrence River, and they have a lot of concerns. We know that the centre's closure was postponed to April 2013 and then to October 2013, because there was some difficulty in recruiting bilingual employees who met the employment conditions in Halifax and Trenton.
In addition, the proposed work schedules suggest that there will be one bilingual employee per shift. Therefore, if there are two calls at the same time, someone might get an answer in English. In this context, can you continue to say that closing the centre is necessary to save money, while putting Canadian lives in danger?
