Mr. Speaker, I want to reiterate that I do agree with my learned friend that these lighthouses are important from both a tourism and a community point of view. In fact, I have a lighthouse in the city I represent. It serves no navigational purpose, but it is important to the people who live there.
It is my understanding that the lighthouse will be repaired. As to whether it is going to be the same velocity or wattage, I am not aware of that. But again, I can assure my colleague and all Canadians that the safety of the mariners who are in the Northumberland Strait is of prime concern to the Coast Guard. That will not in any way, shape or form be compromised.
