CH-149 Cormorant helicopter crews from 413 Transport and Rescue Squadron, based at 14 Wing Greenwood, Nova Scotia, made their way to Prince Edward Island on Nov. 20, 2017, to take part in a Maritime Extraction Exercise nicknamed "Boat Camp." The week of intense training saw rescue teams working with many marine vessels at all hours of the day and night, practising life-saving protocols in a variety of real-world situations. Particular focus was put on the transfer of people and equipment between the helicopters and the vessels, which included Canadian Coast Guard ships, fishing boats, and zodiacs. During this unique exercise, the crews continued to maintain a regular search and rescue (SAR) posture, meaning that they were ready and available to respond to emergencies as tasked at any given time.

Canada has national interests and they are very simple to state. We must advance the economic well-being of Canadians, help the advance of freedom and democracy everywhere, share in the defence of North America, and protect the territory, people and sovereignty of the country. We do the first two interests reasonably well. We fail miserably in achieving the last two.

There had been plans to take the jets out of service shortly after 2025.
But representatives from companies who took part in a Jan. 22 industry day outlining the Liberal government's program to buy new fighter planes were told the RCAF will now keep the CF-18s operating until 2032.
