I certainly can't comment on what has been discussed at higher levels. What I can say is that each port authority is very much embedded in and linked to the community within which it operates, to the extent that there is a municipal representative on each port authority board. There is a very tight link, and therefore the community itself has a vested interest, yes, but also a voice in the decisions that the port authority is making as to how the port will be developing and what the impacts will be on the community.
