Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for coming and for the work that you do for small craft harbours. It's certainly appreciated.
I'm from British Columbia. The Fraser River runs through my riding, and I do have three small craft harbours, about 65 fewer, I think, than are in Mr. Manning's riding.
I'm also the parliamentary secretary to the minister, so I'd like to ask you--although I'm reluctant to do so because Mr. Sooley is sitting right behind you--to characterize your relationship with the small craft harbours program and how well you get along, how you rate your cooperation, and so on.
I'd like to hear briefly from all of you on that, please.
