I recognize the iconic nature of the yellow SAR aircraft, but I think they should have opted for the multi-role colouring.

C-130s in full combat paint have been handling SAR in remote areas for a long time. Nobody complains when they show up -- with their very excellent SARTECs on board.

The Canadian military is highly professional, but modestly funded. Flexibility is very important.

When called on to support humanitarian missions in a dysfunctional country with active pockets of fighting, yellow is not the colour for your aircraft.
