Mr. Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for the introductory course on Nav Canada. It was very interesting.
I would like to ask her a question about ports and wharves.
There is one expenditure that I would have liked to see in the estimates, but it was not there. I would have liked to see an agreement with Municipality of Nouvelle regarding the Miguasha wharf. Since 2009, Nouvelle has been trying to become the owner of the port facilities so it can make something of them and attract visitors.
When will Transport Canada come to an agreement with small municipalities like this one? That would boost regional economic development. The government is using COVID-19 as an excuse for not coming to an agreement and for putting an end to the negotiations.
When will Transport Canada assume its responsibilities with regard to the Gaspé?
