Yes, absolutely.
West Coast Environmental Law, Surfrider Foundation, Ocean Legacy Foundation, the Georgia Strait Alliance, Raincoast Conservation Foundation, the Dead Boats Disposal Society, the Howe Sound Biosphere Region Initiative Society and the Marine Life Sanctuaries Society of British Columbia are some of the environmental organizations that have supported it. More locally, in my riding, the Sunshine Coast Regional District has endorsed it, as have the District of Sechelt, the Town of Gibsons, Bowen Island Municipality, the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, the District of Squamish, the shíshálh Nation and Squamish Nation.
You can see that there's broad support for this. There are municipalities that are taking their own action and first nations that are taking their own action. I can tell you that there are some first nations that want to build shipbreaking facilities and have those recycling opportunities take place on their territory. There are municipalities that are taking steps to prevent anchorages in certain areas, so that you don't have those boats that become problem vessels there.
All these organizations are doing what they can to address the problem. There are steps that the province needs to take, and there are steps that the federal government needs to take. This is part and parcel of that.
