Preface
During the course of its work your committee was apprised of the fact that the National Research Council Canada had completed a study on search and rescue. On May 4th, 2010 the Committee adopted the following motion requesting access to the report and its findings:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(1), as part of its study of search and rescue response times, the Committee request that the government table with the Committee its study of search and rescue aircraft of March 2010.
The Committee was subsequently informed that the report was the property of the Minister of Public Works but not deemed to be a secret document. Your Committee was also told that it could have access to the study, however, to date has yet to receive it. Members were therefore somewhat disappointed that matters were not expedited in order to have the findings made available for consultation as part of our study on Arctic Sovereignty, wherein search and rescue was an important matter for consideration.
