If there were any big changes, I would be very interested in hearing about the big changes before they take place, for sure.
Mr. Goulding, you have been involved in this for quite a period of time. I heard Bill talking about the engineering aspects and Public Works, and I thought it would give you an opportunity, which you didn't grasp, to capture more for your department, but you didn't do that, which is wonderful.
You've been around during the changes that have taken place, when the harbours went to harbour authorities. I would like you to spend a moment and indicate how you feel about the harbour authorities, what part they have played. Has it made a difference in the costs of repair in small craft harbours when you put the harbour authorities in place? There was a lot of opposition to that when it took place—and I have to say I wasn't on the plus side of that ledger either—but obviously, in my opinion, for what it's worth, I think it's a lot better. I'd just like you to elaborate a bit on that.
While you're at it, you could indicate, as Mr. Manning mentioned, there was a motion put through the House that I think would re-establish the $20 million—I don't want you to elaborate too heavily—plus $15 million, and all members supported that. Has that motion been fully adhered to? I'd like you to answer that question.
Thank you very much.
