Mr. Speaker, we are working hard to get the best equipment, the best fixed wing SAR equipment, for our airmen. I thank the hon. member for bringing up the question because it gives us an opportunity to talk about the consultations that we have undertaken.
It has taken some time, there is no doubt about it. It is a complicated project. We are looking at all options. We value the input from the National Research Council. It has some expert people whose input has been very helpful, and the project is going to move ahead with all the haste we can muster.
