Thank you.
I went to the Magdalen Islands before hurricane Fiona, and the situation at the Cap-aux-Meules wharf was already complex, given that it is partly under the jurisdiction of Transport Canada, supposedly, and partly under Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Some sort of barge was installed to increase the berthing space. However, it does not work when the boats arrive loaded with fish or lobsters. I have seen fishermen who had to manoeuvre to attach their boat to the barge and allow their colleagues to unload their cargo, because the barge would not allow them to do so. God knows that the main economic activity of the Magdalen Islands is lobster fishing, and all this makes the situation more complex. Hurricane Fiona added to this and highlighted the emergencies experienced on the Magdalen Islands and in various ports on both shores of Quebec.
Was there a plan before Fiona and, if so, was it changed? You've already done a lot, as we've seen, but the reason there was an urgency to do a study on small craft harbours was because there was still a lot to do.
Now that hurricane Fiona has passed, are you able to give us an order of magnitude of the additional costs it will have caused, compared to what you had anticipated?
Is my question clear?
