Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am indeed from Ontario, and some might ask about the southern shore of Canada. My riding is the southernmost shore of Canada. We also have the largest freshwater fishing port in the world, in Wheatley, so I was quite pleased when I was asked to serve on this committee because it was amazing how many concerns were brought forward from that small fishing community.
The specific question I want to ask today is for Mr. Da Pont, as he is in charge of the coast guard.
We also have in that fishing harbour a substantial shipbuilder, and he's expressed some real frustration with the procurement that takes place. In the past he's built some hovercraft and some other vessels for the coast guard. Are you involved with that? I know there was a large gathering. The shipbuilders all came together. Are we working toward a solution there on your end?
