Sure. I'm Patricia Heintzman, Mayor of the District of Squamish. If you're not familiar with Squamish, it's about 45 to 50 minutes north of Vancouver. It's just south of Whistler. We're at the very end of Howe Sound, which is the most southerly fjord on the west coast of Canada.
We, like every coastal community in British Columbia and I'm sure on the east coast, have the issue of wrecks, derelict vessels, and abandoned vessels as part of our day-to-day vernacular. It's part of a conversation that we're constantly having in Squamish.
We have had quite a few experiences over the last couple of years that have led to quite a number of conversations with Transport Canada, both at the local level in British Columbia and with the minister's office. I'm quite pleased to see issues from a lot of those conversations that we had with them actually in the act. It seems to deal with some of the issues, and I can go into specific events that it would help with, if that's helpful. It helps in a lot of ways.
There are still a few gaps and it's hard to know if they're covered in other acts or if there are other ways that we can tie off some of the gaps, but it's certainly an excellent first start.
I look forward to the conversation.
Thank you.
