Mr. Chair, he mentioned that I was an educator. The one thing about educating is that you can only work with what you have. However, his math is good.
I'm sure you realize that with budgets, your projections are based upon what you have today. On my very first day at the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans, I introduced the topic of the need for infrastructure. That led to the committee deciding to do a report, which it did. Our small craft harbours director quite openly laid on the table that we would need $400 million to bring our wharves up to par. Our solely owned wharves were 21% or 23% or something unsafe.
All of us put on a push. We had a good report again, and we got $100 million into the budget. So for the last five years, we have had $20 million a year. That now ends. In this past year, we got extra money on top of that. Our hope of course is to be able to build on that as we move forward in our overall fisheries plan.
