If there is any REAL concern with security, why is this being bid to
any NON American firm? This is just plain nuts!


I does not sound like a good idea to me. But if you are concened about
"any" Non-American firm running these ports. They are run by
Non-American firms now.

This is the way we run our port these days. Maybe more American
companies should think of shipping through Halifax.

Are the employees of a Crown Corporation government employees? Here, I
believe, they are unionized employees of the corporation managing the port
operations. I don't think we'd want them federalized.
