Any additional money that serves to strengthen the maritime system would be welcome. Currently, some east-coast ports, in Quebec, are in a sad state in a number of respects. We have activities in all those ports. The port of Quebec City, which is one of the oldest, has difficulty in maintaining its wharves. We are regularly asked to shut down some areas of activity because the wharf is in bad condition. So, the system certainly needs money and that would be a good thing.
I wanted to tell Mrs. Block about one of our concerns about the opening of the European market that has happened, and that we can see in this bill. I feel that it should be of interest to everyone. The Europeans are going to be able to come to Canada with foreign equipment. We have been assured that there are going to be all kinds of ways to make sure that the equipment is adequate. However, if there is foreign equipment for private contracts, it is also going to come with foreign workers.
It has to be a fair fight. We are not afraid of competition, but give us the chance to be competitive. When you implement the agreement, do it in no uncertain terms and tell the Europeans how things are going to work here. That is very important for us.
