Mr. Speaker, I know that the hon. member follows the activities of the Coast Guard very closely and he is no doubt aware that it now comes under the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
However, I wish to assure my hon. colleague that the costs that will be recovered in all transport sectors are not going to be limited to those who own ships in the St. Lawrence. Most of the ships plying the St. Lawrence do not belong to Quebecers, nor to Canadians, for that matter.
That said, we will be ensuring that, in all sectors, costs incurred will be recovered from users.
