I don't mean to be confrontational or to raise an issue that might lead to a perception that there is confrontation between ports and the local municipalities, or, as I say, even provincial jurisdictions, but you say that you consult with the local authorities. My understanding is that the act does not compel you to employ the regulatory process of the municipalities, and that your first objective, your first goal, is to ensure that the federal assets--because that's what those ports are--function in accordance with the federal policies and directions that are associated with the proper working of these port authorities in the context of the Canadian economy.
I don't mean by this to put a federal government against a provincial government, but I do mean a macro view of the economy. What guarantees are built into this to either protect that or mitigate it for the purposes of still addressing local issues?
