Notes:
| 1. |
FTE figures for the Canadian Coast Guard were not available
because CCG operations involve multi-tasking. |
| 2. |
The RCMP is unable to provide exact costs as it relates
to personnel requirements due to the fact that personnel are tasked
with a wide variety of duties one of which is SAR. The SAR expenditures
nationally would be substantial. |
| 3. |
TC has no mandate for primary SAR response and does
not identify or dedicate resources to these activities. The level
of personnel commitment to SAR prevention work is under review. (U/R). |

Notes:
| 1. |
Changes due to transfers of funding from SAR New Initiatives
Fund (NIF) to other departments for implementation of SAR New Initiatives
Fund projects. This includes the transfer of $3,150 K (FY 05/06),
$1,550K (FY 06/07) $847K (FY 07/08) and $208K (FY 08/09). |
| 2. |
The decrease in the estimate from 2005-06 to 2006-07
is mainly due to the SARSAT Project and the Canadian Search and Rescue
Helicopter (CSH) Project being closed. Increases in the estimate in
2007-08 are due to the Fixed Wing Search and Rescue Aircraft (FWSAR)
project. |
| 3. |
As the resource allocations for SAR are provided under
provincial auspices no figures are available for RCMP federal SAR
activity. RCMP supports other departments with multi-tasked assets
when required |
| 4 |
TC has no mandate for primary SAR response and does
not identify or dedicate resources to these activities. The level
of financial commitment to SAR prevention work is under review. (U/R) |
