Thank you for the question.
The Minister of Transport regulates shipping and navigation. We jointly administer the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act with the Canadian Coast Guard. The Canadian Coast Guard, under its jurisdiction, deals with vessels that are hazardous, and Transport Canada addresses vessels that are abandoned and dilapidated.
We work very closely with the Canadian Coast Guard, nationally and in the regions, to ensure that we address the vessels appropriately within our respective mandates.
