Thank you, Madam Chairperson. There are different agencies that are involved in the search and rescue responsibilities. I have already stated the fact that MACA's role is to provide training and the other things that I have said. There is also the RCMP. The RCMP is the first public agency to be contacted to start a search. We all know that the community on their own, as Mr. Evaloarjuk said, starts a search because they go ahead and organize themselves. There is also the Canadian Forces whose primary responsibility is for air search and rescue and marine responses on coastal waters. I will ask my deputy minister to elaborate on this as she knows more about this with the details. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
