Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Fisheries committee I have to see how much time we have. Realistically, why lock into x number of dollars if in 10 years' time it's going to result in your being in the same type of situation? I would like to see about $10 million invested in planning and expanding, or creating, a facility that would be able to accommodate vessels and th at we'd be able to expand to accommodate tourism.

Fisheries committee Prior to divestiture? I'm not sure about your question.

Fisheries committee To tell you the truth, I really couldn't say right off the top of my head. Our insurance is paid for.

Fisheries committee In terms of my harbour authority specifically, last year we successfully applied for a non-capital project. That resulted in the construction of a new block and span at the Falls Point facility and mattresses at our lower wharf, which now enables us to haul up seven vessels at a time, as opposed to three.

Fisheries committee I have only been associated with the harbour authority for the past three years, so I couldn't comment on that.

Gerry Nickerson
Fisheries committee Of course. I will take all of your requests to my board, and with their approval, we'll look forward to sending you anything you request.

Gerry Nickerson
Fisheries committee We certainly are, and we'd love for you to come down and have some.

Fisheries committee I can see all of them. They're all in sight. I would say that from the main wharf, my lower wharf is probably about two kilometres to the east and Falls Point wharf is probably the same distance to the west.
November 26th, 2007Committee meeting
Gerry Nickerson
Fisheries committee That's approximately right. It varies.
November 26th, 2007Committee meeting
Gerry Nickerson
Fisheries committee The majority of them are commercial vessels. Of the 82, we have maybe 10 recreational vessels. I should also mention that through the summer we occasionally have foreign vessels come in. Usually they're sailing vessels that have come in because of weather, because they're lost, or because they need fuel or water—that type of thing.
