None. That's very interesting.
I have some concerns with respect to the bill, and maybe I can get a little bit of clarification.
Clause 11 says, “No person shall remove, alter, destroy, sell, assign, transfer”. I'm going too fast for the interpreter--before I get a lecture--but we can all read clause 11 if we want to.
My concern with this is if we designate a lighthouse as a heritage site that is owned by the people of Canada, then the people of Canada, ultimately, have a responsibility to maintain it in a state prescribed by the minister should this act come into force.
What happens when we've divested a lighthouse, it's privately owned by someone else, and it starts to become dilapidated or is not maintained appropriate to the letter of this act? An unintended consequence would be that the person who owns the property would be in contravention of this act. My questions to you is, would the Government of Canada, would the people or the taxpayers of Canada, be responsible for restoring it?
I guess we would have the option of declassifying it—and the process is outlined here—as a historic site. I'm wondering, from your interpretation of this and your dealing with some of the federal heritage buildings—I'm sure you've probably gone through similar situations—does this act give the people of Canada, the taxpayers of Canada, adequate room to manoeuvre if something that was classified as a heritage lighthouse is no longer kept in the condition it needs to be kept in, so the taxpayers are not on the hook for somebody else's inability to maintain the building?
