Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Good morning gentlemen. Thank you for coming this morning.
I would say, to use the words of my friend Mr. MacAulay, that the dreaded red box catastrophe perhaps just happened less than 24 hours ago, given that the Conservatives did nothing to support small craft harbours. They provided for no extra funding. That dreaded catastrophe affects small craft harbours and their infrastructure. As we have often said, those infrastructures are in such a poor state that, to use an image, they're like a leaky roof that is not being repaired. At one point that roof collapses and that is what is currently happening. Whether it be red boxes or the lack of measures on the part of our government, we are heading towards a catastrophe.
