May 31, 2004 MONTREAL -- Lucienne Robillard, President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, today announced on behalf of Geoff Regan, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, the signing of a grant agreement with the municipality of Champlain. The grant will enable the municipality to carry out repairs to the municipal wharf and launching ramp situated on the shore of the St. Lawrence River. "The Champlain municipal wharf and launching ramp are municipal assets that meet regional needs," Mrs. Robillard noted. "This grant will ensure that users have access to safe harbour facilities that are in good condition." The project comes under the Recreational Harbour Divestiture Program administered by the Small Craft Harbours Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The agreement provides for the transfer of ownership of the harbour facilities to the municipality of Champlain, which must in turn ensure continued public access to the facilities and maintain them as community assets for the prescribed term in the agreement.
