Fisheries committee  A band-aid in some cases, from my involvement with you and other fishermen, has been more or less a waste of money--just to patch. Sometimes it's washed away, or sometimes when the job is done it has to be taken out in order to do the job properly. If you'd like to expand on that

Fisheries committee  Greg, how long would you be in a port before you would have to pay the fee?

Fisheries committee  Thank you very much. I know very well the chairman is about to cut me off, so I will pass.

Fisheries committee  What I'd like Gregory to expand on, too, along with the funding we need, is how big the bill will be as we go down the road. I remember the Savage Harbour wharf. When I visited it the first time politically, about $150,000 to $200,000 would have fixed it. When we repaired it, it

Fisheries committee  Then as you say, when that figure goes from perhaps $100,000 to $500,000, the first thing you know, you're into a number of millions of dollars. I'd like you to comment also on your harbour authority. I was around when the harbour authorities were put in place and I probably wa

Fisheries committee  Greg--not to interrupt you--we can be annoyed with small craft harbours directorate, of course, but there are people above small craft harbours who make the decision as to what dollars are available in order to do the repair. What I'm trying to do is make sure we get into the sku

Fisheries committee  It's not a month; it could be overnight, and if you are fishing somewhere else you pay the fee again. We heard this in Newfoundland, that they had to go to a number of different areas, and with that they had to pay a number of different fees.

Fisheries committee  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 wh

Fisheries committee  I thank you very much. I'm closing because I want to give my other colleagues a chance to look at Mr. Petten's wharf and what dollars can do and what they can create and the economy it can create. I understand how important it is, so I'll pass on to one of my colleagues.

Fisheries committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. It's a pleasure to be here. It's good to meet you people; you have a lot of the same concerns as I hear pretty often in my own riding in Prince Edward Island. Mr. Drew, when you gave your statement you mentioned that in Bay Bulls, from a numb

Fisheries committee  Most people here understand fisheries pretty well--what the breakwater means for the safety of the boats, protection of the wharf, and all of that. It would also be an investment in longevity. I think you indicated that harbours in Europe can last so much longer and how important

Fisheries committee  Thank you very much. I don't want to take up all the time, Kevin, but I had a chance to speak to you when you came in, and you have a business plan in place, I suspect, for the blasting. How many extra boats, and what is the cost of what you plan to do in this area and the nece

Fisheries committee  I'm going to fly there myself on Sunday, and that's okay, I guess. Second, I'd like to have a list of all the people, interpreters, etc., who are coming. If you could give that to George, I would appreciate it.

Fisheries committee  Thank you very much, ma'am. I appreciate it. You're very efficient.

Fisheries committee  I have just one question. Mr. Goodacre, you mentioned a number of things that I could ask you about, but you spoke about what was considered a historic building inside of a complex that couldn't remain. I just wonder if you have an opinion on this. I had a situation where we ha
