Mr. Speaker, we acted, and we continue to act. I remind the hon. member that our SAR crews frequently surpass their mandated response times. In fact, in 2011, 103 Squadron, based in Gander, in the member's home province, averaged a 21.3-minute reaction time in the 30-minute posture, and 58.7 minutes during the two-hour evening posture.
This is a remarkable accomplishment brought about by training, dedication and the willingness to risk lives in the service of our country.
