Another area I heard a lot about when I was in Nova Scotia this summer touring my legislation, but also on the west coast, is the number of federal vessels that are out there that have a Coast Guard logo on the front, or else they're old navy ships. I don't understand why this legislation doesn't include some kind of remedy, as Washington State does, to limit departments' and agencies' ability to sell these government assets as surplus to their requirements without putting conditions in place that ensure that the next owner actually has the means to deal with them responsibly. The Cormorant is a great example of that.
