Mr. Speaker, I am a little surprised by the way my colleague's speech ended. I think that his riding would also benefit from general collaboration. The thing we need to realize about shoreline erosion is that action taken in one place can be detrimental to three neighbours upstream and three neighbours downstream if it is not done properly.
What we need is a concerted effort that includes comprehensive planning covering the St. Lawrence Seaway, each structure and each side effect. I think we need this, and I think that the federal government has to take responsibility. The St. Lawrence Seaway generates several billion dollars of revenue each year. Over 150,000 tonnes of goods move through it annually. I think the seaway brings in enough revenue that we can afford to help and take care of the people who live along its banks.
I would like the member's response to that.
