There's been an inventory done over the past couple of years by DFO, to come up with the number of possible candidates under this bill. While I don't have the exact figure, it's somewhere in the vicinity of 250 lighthouses that would be possible candidates. Someone came up with the figure—and I think Natalie can back me up on this—that with the railroad station act it was 60% of possible candidates that were actually selected at the end of the day. So if we use that 60% for the lighthouses—this is all arbitrary—at the end of the day we could come up with, say, 180 lighthouses that could be possible candidates under this bill.
You make a very good point. At the end of the day, we would like to see as many of these light stations transfer to community groups as there are community groups to accept them. But we fully realize that we aren't going to be able to save them all, for sure.
We had the discussion quite a number of years ago with the Canada Lands Company. The divestiture system was first tried in the maritime region, and Canada Lands took exception and said that these are expensive coastal properties and we should be getting fair market value back into federal coffers for these properties. We made the argument at that time that you can't treat lighthouses like filing cabinets or something owned in crown assets, and we won the argument. But we had to realize as well that if there aren't any community groups to take these as part of the divestiture process, which is very fair, then they are sold at market value at the end of the day.
