I think Maine has the advantage of being much closer to large populations of people who can afford expensive boats. A lot of those boats you'll see in a marina are parked there most of the season, and a lot of those boats do not do long-distance journeys; if they do long-distance journeys, they typically go south for the winter.
The coastline around Newfoundland I think would be extremely interesting for a sailor, as interesting as Maine, but getting there is the issue.

I've thought about trying to promote strategic development for a number of years, maybe in conjunction with small craft harbours and ACOA or others.
Thank you for that.
I think we've pretty much exhausted our questioning, have we, colleagues? Is everyone satisfied?
We thank our witness for coming. We thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and the interaction during our questions. Thank you once again.
The meeting is adjourned.
