Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We heard evidence from the Canadian Safe Boating Council, which had expressed a reservation about the change in the definition of the term “vessel”.
I am therefore proposing an amendment that may not entirely satisfy what they were seeking, but will at least address the fact that they were asking for “but does not include a vessel propelled exclusively by means of muscular power” to be deleted, and to leave it the way it is now.
Therefore, I would be changing slightly the LIB-2 that I provided, and it would now read that Bill C-46, in clause 15, be amended by replacing lines 5 to 7 on page 14 with the following, “vessel includes a hovercraft”, and basically leaving it at that, so deleting everything after the word “hovercraft”.
