Mr. Speaker, over a year ago, Defence Research and Development Canada's report indicated that increasing the search and rescue service's hours of operations helps save lives. The Conservatives knew that, but they did nothing about it. It took NDP motions and a report from the Auditor General for them to realize that it might be time to stop dragging their feet. We are talking about people's safety. It is a matter of life and death.
Why did they not do anything before?
