I am trying to understand what the problem is with amendment NDP‑3, whose purpose is to establish a list of areas where anchoring would not be allowed. That is what I understand from this amendment. The definition of the area in question would be added later in a schedule. We are simply debating the possibility of not allowing anchoring in certain areas. I am trying to understand how this is a problem. In my opinion, it might be very logical for anchoring not to be appropriate everywhere. On the question of the areas, that could be discussed in a second phase.
I would like to make sure I understand correctly. How is it preventing the minister from directing a vessel to one place or another? If I understand correctly, it will be possible to amend the schedule by regulation. The minister will therefore have the power to make amendments later; he will have all the leeway needed for doing that. Maybe there are members or witnesses who can explain this or clarify it for me.
