That question can be looked at from various angles. The most extreme approach is that we could be armed. An intermediate approach would give us the power to implement certain regulations. For instance, under the Canada Shipping Act, Transport Canada is responsible for ensuring that ships are safe, among other things. For our part, if we detect an issue, we report it, and then it is up to Transport Canada to decide whether to act or not. Naturally, if we had the additional power of being able to enforce certain laws, that would be an additional step. The ultimate step would be to have armed personnel on board who could enforce certain other laws.
