M. David Church: L'autre difficulté est qu'il existe de nombreuses autres questions associées au transport maritime comme cela a été souligné: il y a le déglaçage, il y a les aides à la navigation, le dragage, la cession des ports aux collectivités locales ou l'établissement des administrations portuaires canadiennes, le changement dans la fonction de maître de port et la question de savoir qui a assurera ce service, si ce sera Transports Canada.Une des difficultés est que personne ne sait quel sera le coût total.
Mr. David Church: The other difficulty we have with this is that there are many other issues related to marine transportation out there, and it's been pointed out: you have icebreaking, you have aids to navigation, you have dredging, you have transfer of ports to the local communities or the establishment of Canadian port authorities, you have the change in the harbourmaster and who's going to be providing that service, whether it will be Transport.One of the difficulties is that nobody knows what the total cost is going to be.
