I think it would give us a little bit more stability if legislation were in place that would designate whether it's a heritage site, whether it's within Parks Canada, whether it's within the community, or whatever. If it's designated, then we're not sailing a rocky boat, because right now we're debating if we're going to get the lease or not. If we're not going to get the lease, 10 to 15 years of our work is going to go down the drain, especially in the case of Cabot Head. But if lighthouses like ours were designated by the federal, provincial, or municipal governments, then we'd have that problem out of the way and we could concentrate on our fundraising and upkeep of the lights instead of biting our nails every five years, wondering if we are going to have a lighthouse to work with.
