As I stated during my comments, other levels of government look to this legislation in order to enforce it in their own jurisdictions. Under the previous legislation, the provincial or municipal levels of government would have been able to act to stop barriers like that, to stop that kind of intrusion on the waterways which, under this act, is not allowed except on those that are listed. It's now up to individuals, as opposed to previously when it was not up to individuals under the common law, to try and effect change themselves as individual people. You saw other levels of government stepping in to effect change and to stop obstructions from occurring.
