One of the things we've heard quite a bit, Mr. Warris, from those in the aquaculture sector, and of course from those in the harvesting sector on the island, is the absolute need for sound, solid investment in the infrastructure to get it up to speed on our wharfs, in particular small craft harbours. This was identified in a report that came out three years ago. There needed to be strategic investment not only in the wharfs and the infrastructure for small craft harbours but also in the area of dredging. I know that in Malpeque there have been some real challenges in the harbour with a major dredging need there.
It seems like promises get made, and a lot of commitments, and the blue economy always gets talked about, but if we do not invest and adapt our infrastructure for the future.... We know that storms are inevitable. We know what's going to be coming. What we have to do is strategically invest in adequate infrastructure to support the incredible potential of our blue economy, that being aquaculture and fisheries going into the future.
Along that line, we know that there will be harvesters that want to get back on the water. Do you feel that they will have adequate resources in place and that small craft harbours and wharfs will be up to speed in time for the oncoming seasons?
