The data as it exists today is inconclusive, specifically when it comes to the length of the vessels involved in the incidents. That is what we have communicated with Transport Canada and our partners around the table. We desire to have the facts of the size of the boats that are causing the problem.
One of the concerns that we've seen is that, typically, when the data is presented, there's a breakout of canoes and kayaks, but then every single powerboat that's involved in an incident across Canada is lumped together. That's where we've come out collectively, in saying that we support mandatory wear for human-powered vessels, because if you pull the canoes and the kayaks together, the incidence with those is, quite frankly, higher than it is with powerboats.
What we want are meaningful solutions that still allow Canadians to go boating and enjoy the sport while being properly protected. We feel that a proper, comprehensive survey.... Right now we have the OPP who have said that they want six metres and down. We want a comprehensive survey that truly collects the data across Canada from the RCMP, the Coast Guard, Sûreté du Québec, OPP, Toronto Police and what have you, and that properly tracks the size of the boats involved in the incidents. Then, we can make evidence-based decisions.
