Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. MacAulay. Mink River is an interesting scenario. I have pictures here that I took yesterday. If anybody wants to see them, they are more than welcome to. What you don't see in this picture is that the actual physical sheathing and the whalers that were already purchased to fix that piece of wharf are sitting right here.

Fisheries committee  Basically—I don't know whether you can see it or not—the front of the wharf, which was wood, fell off. The bolts let go; it just fell into the water. But when it was falling into the water, the pieces that were to replace it were sitting 35 feet away from it, paid for but never installed.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman and committee members. Let me begin by saying how very pleased I am to be here today to speak to you on the issues that face all harbour authorities on Prince Edward Island. It has been my pleasure over the past six years to be involved with small craft harbours in my capacity as harbour manager for the Port of North Lake harbour authority, and I would like to address some of my concerns and some of the concerns of other members of our fishing community concerning small craft harbours in Prince Edward Island.
