Thank you for that question.
It goes back to what I mentioned earlier. Ultimately, Bill C-33 has to decide which way we want to go. Do we want to create port authorities that are more government-like and more government agency-like, or create them or push them to be more private sector market players with some government oversight?
What we have right now, though, which we have experienced in Vancouver, is that ultimately there is no direct link or accountability for when port authority leadership is not necessarily in line with what the priorities may or may not be of the government or the tenants. Many tenants had some challenges in Vancouver, and ultimately there was no mechanism to directly address that. By having the chair of the port ultimately accountable to somebody in government, that will increase that accountability or chain of command to the minister, so that at least the tenants, the private sector and users of the port can approach the minister and expect some answer or action. Currently, when that is done, the answer is that ports are at arm's length and nothing can be done. Of course, that's an example of where it's also a negative, where the government can potentially more politically influence the operations of the port and the leadership of the port. There are some challenges with that.
There is no perfect answer. The question is more this: Which way does the government want to push the port authorities, to be more government or more private sector?
