Mr. Colin Murray:

Not that we know of. All boat crews have to do a minimum number of launches and a minimum number of hours on a boat to maintain their competency. If somebody does not do that, the person can be removed from the crew. We all would agree with that. If boat crews do not go out with their first aid, manual handling, VHF licences and with the necessary skill set, they will be removed from boat crews. All volunteers will agree with that. It is incumbent on the volunteer personally to maintain those hours and also on unit management to make sure facilities are available for those volunteers.
