Canada's Air Force contributes substantially to the defence of Canada and North America. Its main roles are surveillance and control of Canadian airspace; air transport of Canadian Forces personnel and equipment throughout the world; and support for Navy and Army operations. The Air Force also supports other federal departments by taking part (for example) in search-and-rescue and humanitarian-relief operations.
