Mr. Speaker, the member was speaking very passionately on this subject, which is a good thing.
It may be in his last answer, but I am not sure I heard the hon. member say specifically what he thinks about harbour authorities.
The idea behind harbour authorities was that if we make the transition from a government operated wharf to an independently operated harbour authority, those harbour authorities now have access to other funds, even government funds, even federal government funds, perhaps from an employment program or a regional initiative and funds perhaps from other levels of government, maybe even some other more creative revenue sources or revenue generating programs and so on. That was the rationale behind them. I wonder what the hon. member thinks of this concept.
