Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to welcome our witness this morning, and especially welcome Mr. Goulding, from the Newfoundland region.
Good to see you here, Bill.
I want to say to you what I said on Tuesday, when the other witnesses were here, that in my time in Ottawa representing a rural riding of coastal Newfoundland and Labrador, I found you and your staff to be exceptionally good to work with, understanding full well the pressures you're under regularly.
You alluded to the changing fishery and the number of harbours and harbour authorities we have in our province. On the changing fishery that we've seen big-time in our province in the last 10 or 15 years that is demanding greater tie-up space, deeper harbours, and so on, have we caught up with the requirement that's been caused by a changing fishery or are we still a ways away from meeting that demand because of the larger vessels being more mobile and so on?
