Thank you.
I'd like to follow that up with a question to our other witnesses around what I thought was a very helpful point by Mr. Fast. It was around the issue of resource allocation, which will really be the challenge. I think therein lies for me the point that when you talk about the breadth of the legislation, one cannot ignore the question of where resources will be allocated.
I appreciate Mr. Alway's point around the ecclesiastical historic site and heritage building investments, particularly made in Quebec. It's felt all across a rural riding like Pontiac, and to the betterment of all of our region. Covered bridges are also significant investments. Those are really important. What I'm most interested in hearing—if we can't get it orally today, then certainly follow-up would be great—is how can the federal government best leverage provincial investments that are already significant? How can we incent more?
I'll give you a quick example from my riding. Old Fort William is a wonderful old historic site on the Ottawa River. It's a famous trading location that had Hudson's Bay involvement. The owner of the Old Fort William hotel right now hasn't sufficient capital to fix this building. He's told that he can't do anything unless he does it to a certain standard. Somewhere along the line the system isn't working when you have landowners who are incapacitated, if you will, financially, but there's no system in place to encourage that investment.
I wonder if you could comment on that, Mr. Alway and Ms. Bull.
