Thank you. I'll take that.
Generally, having worked in that system for over seven years, I think that most ports are doing a pretty good job. My exposure to most of the other ports across the country indicates that they have had those principles at heart most of the time, especially in the last few years. The need to intersect appropriately with the community is also top of mind of all Canadian port authorities.
Despite the extra resources that may be required for the smaller ports on the additional reporting, I think that additional reporting adds another layer of transparency and accountability to a port authority, which will only serve the public to the good.
The ports are doing a lot of good things. A lot of times, it stays within that port ecosystem and word doesn't get out about the good things that industry as a whole and the port authority are doing or the collaborations that take place. Perhaps the new reporting requirements and the new community liaison groups that ports must establish will bridge that gap, albeit it a resource problem for the smaller entities.
