Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Kendrick, maybe you could tell us a little bit about recycling and disposal of boats in the recreational sector. You mentioned there are some 4.3 million recreational boats in Canada. One of the previous witnesses mentioned that, until the 1950s and 1960s, it was largely a wood-hulled construction business, and disposal was pretty easy even if a boat was abandoned: within several decades, ashes would turn to ashes and dust to dust.
However, with the advent of fibreglass-hulled boats, how.... First of all, what is the life expectancy of a fibreglass-hulled boat? I know that there are lots of sailboats that were built in the 70s and 80s that are still being sailed and sailed aggressively.
Is there a life expectancy to the hull of a fibreglass-hulled boat?
