The purpose is essentially to reproduce subclause 18(1), except this time under the heading of “Civil Action”.
This was a recommendation of the Shipping Federation of Canada, and I just thought this particular subclause was quite confusing for them. I know there were some briefing notes produced by the Library of Parliament, our analysts, and also by another group, trying to explain the consequences of that subclause. However, I think there's a lot of uncertainty around what it means, at least from the Shipping Federation of Canada's point of view. I would just like to remove it.
