In both cases, in Carleton and in Gaspé, the wharves are side by side. The Fisheries and Oceans Canada wharf in Carleton is right beside the Transport Canada wharf. Here, in Gaspé, they were also side by side. With the streamlining of small craft harbours done by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, these wharves were deemed non-essential because there was not a great deal of fishing activity. Aquaculture is a new activity. It should be pointed out that the two main centres on the Gaspé Peninsula are Gaspé and Carleton, both places where fishing activities have been abandoned.
What we are saying is that we are legitimate users, just like the fishers. The development of aquaculture is important for DFO, and so Gaspé and Carleton must be identified as being important centres for the development of aquaculture. We need infrastructure just like other major fishing centres do.
