Transport Canada is the owner of the Confederation Bridge that connects New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island. As part of the bridge operator—a private entity operates the bridge for us—we need to have policing services in case there is any accident or anything in which the police would need to be involved, such as regular traffic policing and response to traffic events. The RCMP is the police force on Prince Edward Island. They don't have a local police force.
This agreement is actually between us, the Province of Prince Edward Island, and the RCMP. We are compensating the RCMP because it is a federal asset, not a provincial asset, but the agreement is with them.
