Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have had requests over the last few years concerning the search and rescue groups; for example, in Baker Lake looking to form a regional body for search and rescue. For example, often times when there is somebody lost in Arviat, there are people from Baker who come to help search. They could be lost in between the communities, and they will require extra bodies or people to join in the search that may know the area better and so on and so forth. There are times when one or more communities get together for a better search. Is there any discussion or is there any intention of trying to form such a group where MACA would take the initiative to organize this type of a body? In some cases it would be more effective than just a small group of people leaving from Baker Lake to go and search. Weather is very critical. Time is of the essence, so the more out there in a coordinated approach would give a greater possibility of finding the individuals alive and safe. Thank you.
