Public Accounts committee  I have nothing further, so we would have to respond to you in writing on that.

Public Accounts committee  The Dash 7s are aging aircraft, as you said. That is why we have procured a very robust spare parts inventory to ensure that we can keep them operational for as long as possible. The surveillance program is augmented by the Dash 8 that flies out of Vancouver for the western Arctic.

Public Accounts committee  Absolutely, and I think one of the things that we recognize, partly as a result of the audit but also our own work and consultations in this area, is that enhanced data and information from our partners at Environment Canada and other agencies will do nothing but enhance our ability to look at maritime situational awareness and analyze where those risks are, whether they be environmental or security.

Public Accounts committee  —but there are other information sources that we can also leverage.

Public Accounts committee  There are two components of that, and they're a result of the oceans protection program. The first is what's called enhanced maritime situational awareness. It's an initiative that was codeveloped with indigenous partners and is improving our overall domain awareness for coastal communities and indigenous communities.

Public Accounts committee  As mentioned before, our remotely piloted aircraft enhances our ability to do Arctic surveillance.

Public Accounts committee  I don't have that information, but I'd be pleased to respond—

Public Accounts committee  No, it's not acceptable.

Public Accounts committee  As part of our programming and our overall investment strategy in our airports as well, that has been addressed with the minister. Through programs, such as the critical infrastructure program and the capital—

Public Accounts committee  We have spoken to the minister about the capital requirements for airports and airstrips as well.

Public Accounts committee  As part of our airports and as part of our analysis, we look at what the infrastructure needs are and what our funding capacity is. We prioritize projects we would undertake, with considerations of safety and security being foremost.

Public Accounts committee  Our foremost priority is safety and security. We make the investments and address those requirements as part of our capital work.

Public Accounts committee  The plan is that, as we identify and prioritize investments that are required, we action those—
