Thank you so much, gentlemen, for coming in today.
It was a pleasure earlier this week to go to the Prix d’Excellence awards for small crafts harbours and meet some of you there for the work that you did, the recognition that some of you received this week in receiving awards on behalf of your harbour authorities, or as individuals, for the work that you do. It was an excellent evening. I quite enjoyed myself meeting some of you there. It was a pleasure to take part in that. Congratulations to you on some of the awards that you have won this week for the work you do.
I have three questions. The first is not specific to any area, but it may relate to your area.
A number of years ago the coastal wharves were transferred from Transport Canada to small craft harbours directorate and then down to the individual harbour authorities. As you know, a lot of these wharves were much bigger than the ones you normally deal with. I was wondering about the impact that the transfer of these wharves to small craft harbours and then down to harbour authorities is now having on the harbour authorities as these properties get a little older. I'm not familiar with whether it's the same throughout all regions. I know it is in our region, in Newfoundland.
