It is clear that when the government announced programs for the environment and for public transportation, etc., they made decisions that excluded ferries, since recent funding programs to decarbonize transportation do not include the ferry sector. We are excluded. That's clear.
We asked the federal government to participate when the budget was announced last year; we had asked some time ago, and it was the same response. So we were excluded from that.
This is obviously a problem, Mr. Barsalou‑Duval, and we are disappointed. The reality is that when the government makes announcements to decarbonize shipping and makes international agreements, all ferries want to be part of that. However, they recognize that a ferry is built for 40 years.
We need help to change things. Indeed, we have problems in this regard, and the government is not helping us.
I cannot comment on federal infrastructure, as the majority of our operators use their own infrastructure, which would need funding.
