“The CCG operates in some of the harshest flying conditions on the planet, so the performance capabilities of the aircraft are exactly what they need to support their operations.”
I've had a trawl through the Bell specs and can't find any reference anywhere to engine or rotor anti-icing - you know, the sort of thing that would allow the IFR capabilities to actually be used in the 'harshest flying conditions on the planet'.
Sounds perfect for the Canadian summer though
