I have one comment. A good part of the cost to put these light stations like Mr. Noreau's back in shape is because there has been nothing done to these buildings for so long. Mr. Noreau can back me up on this. Once these light stations were destaffed--I can speak from experience in the Maritimes region--there was almost no maintenance--zero maintenance--done on these buildings. If you let any kind of building, whether concrete, wood, or whatever it is built from, go.... I like to call this cost associated with bringing these back “deferred maintenance”. That's what I like to call it from DFO's perspective, because they have done nothing for so many years.
I'd like to use one example in Quebec. I don't know if it's part of your riding or not, but one of our real lighthouse pioneers in the country is Yves Foucreault. He's at La Martre.
