Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Members of the national harbour authority advisory committee, good day.
This week, the committee members had a discussion. We talked a great deal about the request for proposals process. It was announced that there is a certain amount of money in the budget for repairs, etc. Is there sufficient oversight of the process to ensure that delays will not be an issue? Perhaps the requests for proposals will be announced in early fall and, as a result, work may not commence before next year.
I wanted to hear from you and learn whether, for each region, the current request for proposals process is sufficiently clear, smooth and reasonably quick from the time the funding is allocated to the program to the time you learn that your application has been given priority. Is there anything in the request for proposals process that needs to be changed? I would like to hear from Mr. Legresley first, and then the others.
