Mr. Chair, I am surprised by how quickly time has passed. I will skip a few questions. I just got back from the Magdalen Islands, where I met with people who use the port of Cap-aux-Meules. Will the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Transport Canada come to an agreement to better meet the needs of those who use this infrastructure that is critical to economic development in the Magdalen Islands? There is a temporary wharf that appears to be permanent and that is wholly inadequate. I have watched trawlers manoeuvring around each other as they try to dock on the wharf. It is awful watching them switch places. Will the minister commit to visiting Cap-aux-Meules, so she can see the problem for herself and realize that it needs to be fixed quickly? The entire economy of the Magdalen Islands is at stake.
