Thank you again, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank my colleague, Mr. Cuzner, for the question of the marine fees for the far north.
As you know, Mr. Da Pont, they used to have an exemption a couple of years ago and they were tacked on, so anything that you can do with the government and the minister to remove those fees before this season I know the folks of Grise Fiord would greatly appreciate.
My other question for you, sir, is on lighthouses. As you know, Bill S-220 from the Senate is before us now, and I know my colleague is working on it as well. Obviously, there's no way you're going to divest every lighthouse to every group that's out there. Some of them are going to have to go by the wayside, but there are a fair number of them that are considered by a lot of people of national heritage importance to our country.
I'm wondering, sir, are there processes involved with DFO and the coast guard to these groups and to provinces or municipalities in terms of divestiture, not just for the cleanup of the old mercury sites and that, but to assist these groups with some basic funding in order to hand them over in a proper manner so that they can be turned over by these not-for-profit groups for historical value in the future?
