Mr. Speaker, I completely agree with my colleague's statement. A study entitled “Coastal Resilience Project: developing tools for adaptation to coastal erosion for municipalities in Quebec's maritime regions” looked at 24 regional county municipalities, or RCMs. We would have to confirm which RCMs were involved, but it covered 123 municipalities and 10 indigenous communities. The only indigenous community in my riding is the Maliseet nation in Cacouna. This inevitably goes beyond the territory of my riding. The member is absolutely right to say that if you intervene in one place, it can cause collateral damage somewhere else.
What I am saying is that this challenge already exists. Maritime Quebec already exists. No one is reinventing this. It already exists in Quebec City, where there used to be a ministry responsible for it. I think it is still there. There are ways of working collaboratively with Quebec, with Fisheries and Oceans, and with local stakeholders, such as municipalities. The solutions are there, but the government has never wanted to implement them.
