I would like to share an experience with you that I had when I was mayor of Mont-Saint-Pierre. It is a village that relied on tourism where at one point in time, the sea completely destroyed the wharf. It was a private wharf, that did not belong to the government. We had to find the means to have it removed. This happened four or five years ago, and I can tell you that we are still feeling nostalgic about it today. On top of that, we lost many of the tourists who came to us in June and early July. Wharves are therefore extremely important. In my opinion, every necessary effort must be made to preserve the ones that are still there.
