Mr. Speaker, I would first like to thank my colleague for her question.
It must be remembered that this tragedy is far from over for us, since the military, Transport Canada, the RCMP, the Canadian Coast Guard and local and provincial authorities are still looking for the causes of this horrible event.
Some 2,000 regular and reserve members of the navy, the army and the air force from all across Canada met the challenges raised by this catastrophe. Today some 600 military personnel are involved in search and recovery efforts.
