Thank you to our witnesses.
The Minister of State for Transport indicated that the plan developed by Captain Sid Hynes and approved by the board of directors and Transport Canada--according to my records of minutes of the meetings of the board of directors of Marine Atlantic--was a disaster. The Fleetway--and that's exactly how the minister categorized the fleet renewal plan--would have been a disaster.
The plan was approved by Marine Atlantic. The draft of it was prepared by Captain Sid Hynes and became a template. Then it was developed by Marine Atlantic and Transport Canada. Do you categorize it as a disaster, dating back to 2004, 2005, and 2006?
