First of all, thank you for your kind words. I learned very quickly that this was a fairly complex problem. Actually, it was initially easy to solve, but there were a number of people involved in the solution. They are in the room, and I know they appreciate your generosity.
In terms of how we eventually arrived at the solution, we went through many loops. First, we were looking at the type of ship. Should we handle it by way of the ship type? Should we handle it by way of monetary limits? Was there some other option? None of them really worked, so we had to craft a test and put it into the law with the support of most of those we consulted. It basically gives the operator in adventure tourism two responsibilities: a new requirement to tell people what is involved; and to respect any existing safety provisions that apply to that industry, i.e., to make sure that if there is a requirement for life jackets, people will have them, or that if special equipment is required, people will have it.
The bottom line is that the operator has to tell people that theirs is a unique operation, and the people have to acknowledge in writing that they understand it. That, I think, is the basis on which this can work, and can work successfully. With full knowledge, I don't think people will have a problem in making an informed decision whether or not they wish to participate in the activity.
This solution has the widest support of all of the ones we tried, and I hope it will move forward and be adopted.
