Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This amendment too is to sever issues, once again related to the port, that may not be necessary for their core operations. The Marine Act calls for the principle of engaging in the goods distribution through marine activity.
We've seen—say, for example, in Toronto, with the Porter airline—that it can create difficulties. As well, you could have other developments across the country that create problems. What we're saying, through this amendment, is that these wouldn't be part of the port authority; they would be separate to their entity alone. It wouldn't eliminate them entirely, but at the same time it wouldn't make them part of the port authority. The port authority core business, once again, would be the marine transport of goods.
