Fisheries committee  I feel that the list is just about complete, but I would add the funding necessary to provide additional support to our harbour authorities. The amounts are not as large as in other categories, but I think that more support is needed in that area. With that addition, the list is

Fisheries committee  The divestiture program was basically introduced during the time of program review in about 1995, when it was agreed that we would eventually get out of the business of recreational harbours and non-core fishing harbours across the country.

Fisheries committee  If I follow you correctly, I can say categorically that our existing budget is virtually dedicated to those approximately 750 core fishing harbours I alluded to.

We like to think we are spending our money against those projects that meet the criteria and represent the highest priority, recognizing th

Fisheries committee  I'll give you a quick answer. As you know from the economic update, there's a lot more emphasis going to be placed on the north. We're watching that very closely. If there's any opportunity for us to get on that bandwagon with respect to small craft harbours, we're going to do th

Fisheries committee  I can say that it has been that way for a long time. I'll turn to Robert, who has been with the program a little longer, to see if he would like to comment on that.
