Thank you very much, my honourable Mr. Chair.
It's a pleasure to have the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans here in Georgetown, Price Edward Island, to learn a little bit about the needs. Sometimes when you're far removed from these things and removed from the people who actually take their lives in their hands if funds are not spent appropriately...and if the funds are not spent appropriately we can have disasters, as the presenter had indicated.
What I hope we can do with this and other groups across Quebec and eastern Canada is bring more pressure on the government to put more funding.
