Mr. Laframboise, we certainly looked at all the different ways of structuring the maritime lien, currently found Section 139.
It was our view that, for all intents and purposes, in order to ensure that a supplier has the best possible protection, since he is providing the ship with goods and services, whether the ship is chartered or otherwise… In any case, we felt this was the best solution, to ensure that the maritime lien has enough scope that it maintains the connection to the ship and follows it subsequently, as I explained in our last presentation. This way, the scope of the lien is more effective. That is why the wording of Section 139 is the same as what you have here in the bill.
