Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's good to have the witnesses here.
I'll ask questions of both of you but will start with Mrs. Bowman.
Are you up to speed on the bylaws, etc., that are potential tools in the hands of municipalities to set some rules with respect to where boats are moored, how long they're allowed to stay there, etc.? This came to light because it seems that derelict and abandoned vessels are more of an issue on the west coast than anywhere else. It could be, then, that we have to get creative on the west coast as opposed to looking at pan-Canadian rules.
On those bylaws, are you aware of the abilities of the municipality in this situation?
