All right.
I have something in mind that I want to talk about right away, namely the small craft harbours file.
Regarding the coast guard, you said that if things are allowed to slide, maintenance costs go up. Due to a great increase in maintenance costs, the challenge becomes greater. Unfortunately, this can create problems with various aspects of the mandate for which the coast guard, for instance, is responsible.
However, I am specifically thinking of the small craft harbours file, because the harbours begin to deteriorate as soon as they are not maintained. Their deterioration causes safety problems as well as a great increase in maintenance costs.
If a house is not kept in good repair, a leaky roof can sooner or later cave in. I feel that this is more or less what happened to the coast guard, but I would like to understand this more clearly. You said that your studies and audits are done over a long period of time. Therefore, you produce audit reports, you make requests and recommendations. Obviously, your recommendations were not followed.
