I'm not familiar with the one you're referring to specifically, but I guess an answer to your question is yes, it can happen. I think the Digby harbour is one I would put forward as an example of that. It's still not resolved, but that was originally a Transport Canada harbour and could very well come back to the department. There's a lot of negotiation still under way. So it can happen, depending on the circumstances.
