Thank you, Mr. Burke.
Just to give you an idea, most of the members here are fully familiar with dealing with harbours in their ridings. In my riding of Avalon, in Newfoundland, I have 68 harbour authorities. It's a very busy file in my office, and it continues to be. That's the reason I guess that we've all come together, to try to see if we can improve on the lot of you people who oversee those projects, and the fishermen who depend on them for a living.
Our process here is that we go around the table, so I'm going to ask Mr. Simms to lead off our questions this afternoon.
Mr. Simms.
