We're certainly hoping they're comfortable with what is being proposed. Trying to change any practice that's been in place for over 100 years is probably difficult for whomever the system is being changed for.
As far as assurance that the existing ships going into our waters are being operated by properly qualified and experienced captains, we watch these ships come through every day and we know who the captains are. We don't have a concern about safety for now. Let's put that to rest right now: there is no safety issue for the Canadian public.
We're not following the letter of the Pilotage Act when it comes to the Canadian ships because of this exemption. With respect to how will it change in the future, the authority will have more power to examine specific cases where we do have concerns. Presently when we have concerns we do not have the benefit of the law on our side to ask any further questions. We will do it, but we do not have the law on our side. With the future amendments we'll have the law on our side, and we will take the proper mechanisms to address any deficiencies, if they are there.
