Thank you for your question.
In fact, the client explained that the objective was to make things as inclusive as possible. Currently the convention refers to “brevets d'aptitude”, certificates of competency, which are basically documents attesting that someone has the necessary competency to practise the profession involved.
However, the convention also refers to “certificats d'aptitude”, or seaworthiness certificates, which are basically the same, but apply to sailors specifically. Consequently, in order to be able to regulate in this area as well, since both documents relate to positions on board ships, as provided for in subsection 100(c), we have to preserve both categories in order to be as inclusive as possible.
