Mr. Speaker, the hon. member undoubtedly raises a question which is of great importance to many people who do not understand what has happened in many other parts of the world.
With all due respect, all of us recognize the magnificence of the British Columbia coast, its harbours and bays and the tremendous amount of marine activity which takes place out there. I would simply suggest to the hon. member that he look at what happened on the west coast of the United States. It is very similar. The situation in the U.K., the United States, Australia and around the world is that technology is replacing human beings in lighthouses. It is going to happen on the west coast, but it will only happen when we take into account the safety and security of people who use marine facilities in that area.
