The only caution I would throw out, though, to my fellow representative is that I wouldn't want to see small craft harbours' hands tied if there were a separate pot of money and they had no flexibility. Suppose there comes a time when there's a core harbour in the A-base funding, and we have to trust their judgment. If you identify a separate pot of money, will they have the ability to work with that and apply it to a core fishing harbour if priorities change? I'd be very cautious. I would throw that caution out on that.
