Yes, thank you, Madam Chairperson. In relation to what Mark Evaloarjuk, my colleague, my friend and Mr. Steen were referring to, the 24-hour wait, which I think was initially introduced down south, not in the north of 60 area. Our environment is much different. We have no highways in this area. We have no trees whereby we can find a shelter or use wood for fuel and so on. There are times down south where people may wander off in the city and not report home that they are out somewhere or there are times where people run away down south. However, in the Arctic, in a small community there is no place to run away to except the tundra. When a person files a missing person report in a small community, we have to ensure that person is taken seriously by the community as always, by the RCMP, by other parties in the area of search and rescue.

It is time to introduce a new search and rescue program in north of 60. When a person files a missing person report, we all know that person is serious. When a person goes out, there are times when people talk about a buddy system, two snow machines going out together. The hunter who is going out reports or tells a family member or a friend, or anyone for that matter in the community which direction that person is going, indicating at what time that person is coming back. We all know, as Mr. Steen indicated, that when we wait for half a day, we only have two or three hours of daylight in the dead of winter, December, January and February. We should start looking very seriously at introducing the kind of search and rescue program that is tailored to this part of this country because initially what we go by now, according to RCMP, is the program that was introduced down south, not in the north. We need a search and rescue program made in the north, for the north. Will the Minister talk to her colleague, in this case the Minister for Justice, about the possibility of introducing a new way of doing things. Thank you.
