I'm going to talk about the small craft harbours file and dredging obligations. Every year, Quebec is stuck with this file because a lot of money has to be allocated to dredging because of silting and so on. One long-term solution would require more money immediately, but would make it possible to reduce the financial effort that has to be made for dredging every year. This activity costs more than $1 million a year for Quebec.
Has your department examined this matter from the standpoint of long-term savings, or are you operating from a short-term perspective?
