Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have just a quick question for you, Mr. Bol. I appreciate your coming here today and helping us with our study.
I'm very curious. Could you just elaborate more for me on the way the system is set up in Norway and in the Scandinavian countries? I believe you said that the small craft harbours were not owned by the central government. Were they privately owned? Were they owned by municipalities? Is it a mixture of those? Could you just elaborate on that a little bit for me and give me a clear picture?
Mr. Cuzner asked a few questions in regard to the amount of coastline we have in comparison, but the reality is that we're only dealing with populated coastlines, and when you look at the amount of populated coastline we have in Canada versus the populated coastline in Norway, it would seem to me that would be our logical most comparative country out of the ones you've analyzed in your report. Could you just verify if that's true, if my hunch is correct on that, and just provide me any other information that you think might be helpful for the model that's used there and how we should be doing things here in Canada?
