Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I would just note that this does support the spirit of the amendment that we brought forward and the committee carried previously. That would limit the anchorage of vessels in certain locations to 14 days, of course, after which time the minister would direct them out of those areas. In my view, to do that you would need information on how long the vessel had been there—when it parked there and how many days it had been anchored. I support the spirit of this.

I can see only the amendment in front of me right now. Is this requiring the port authorities to report that information, or does it require the vessels to report that information?
