Madam Chair, there are some distressing situations in a number of communities back home in my riding and in eastern Quebec. I am thinking about the port in Baie-Trinité, which is classified by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans as essential to the town of Baie-Trinité. An assessment of the port noted that it is not safe and has an estimated life expectancy of zero years, literally.
The port was last inspected in September 2019. What has the department done since then, and how does it plan to remedy this situation?
