Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport. I understand that under the Canada port state control inspection program, Transport Canada is responsible for the inspectors that board and check ships in Canadian ports. The program was implemented to ensure that standards of operation were met by commercial vessels and, where necessary, take action against operators who fell short of these requirements. Is the program meeting its mandate and, if so, how?
