Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Who among you is the best for me to direct questions to about the state of the vessel registration system?
This is a major problem for us, at least on the west coast. I'm getting a lot of questions from local government leaders asking how you are going to send a fine or a bill to the owner of the vessel if you don't know who that owner is, and a lot of the problem vessels we have are pleasure craft.
I note this Transport Canada quote: “Improvements to vessel ownership identification systems linked to licensing of pleasure craft are not part of the proposed Bill”. How are you going to fix this?
