Thank you, Madam Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for joining us this morning.
Mr. Arseneault, modernizing the Pilotage Act is necessary to ensure effective, responsible and safe pilotage services, thereby guaranteeing Canada’s competitiveness in trade.
In a news release last April 10, you were optimistic in welcoming the initiatives in the reform of the Pilotage Act. You also mentioned the independence of professional judgment.
Can you tell us how modernizing the Pilotage Act will guarantee that independence?
