I think it's all of the above.
There was a major legislative gap before the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act was introduced in 2019. I mentioned before that it was not even prohibited anywhere to abandon your vessel. That addressed one of the problems there.
One of the issues that have long existed is that we don't understand who owns most boats. It's based on a paper-based system, so it's very outdated. Earlier this year, we introduced a new system, so it's all going to be in one database, and you're now going to have to update the system every five years so we have a better sense of who owns it. Those are really important changes. There are many issues when people don't register when a boat changes hands. These are things that are major gaps in our laws.
Then there are major issues in enforcement on the water. Part of the challenge is that so many of Transport Canada's, DFO's and the Coast Guard's resources are centralized in different areas, and many of these issues end up happening far away from them, so there's a lack of capacity in many respects. Frankly, there were a lot of regional bases that were shut down in the early 2010s as well. I can tell you that my riding on the Sunshine Coast used to have a DFO site, and that was shut down in 2012.
I'd say that those are both issues that are there, and they need to be addressed.
