In terms of federal jurisdiction over transportation, the regulations concerning navigation immediately come to mind. They date back to when shipping was the main mode of transportation. These regulations don't apply well to an environment where we're trying to adapt quickly to the risks posed by invasive alien species in bodies of water. I think that Mr. O'Connor has also come to talk about this issue.
We find that it would likely be better to make decisions about navigation at the municipal or local level, rather than at the federal level, in keeping with the principle of subsidiarity. A process is in place to help communities work on the navigation issue, but it's fairly arduous. Granted, changes have been made recently to make the process easier or less time‑consuming, but it still involves a complex methodology for the stakeholders involved. This is just one example.
We could also talk about transboundary watersheds. For example, we have watershed organizations that handle the Ottawa River or some of its tributaries and an Ottawa River round table, but their work applies only to the Quebec side. As a result, there's no easy way to work with organizations on the Ontario side of the river. The challenge is even greater in the case of the Richelieu river, which draws all its water from the United States.
