Mr. Speaker, there are some 200 Canadians killed in some 6,000 boating accidents annually. The hon. member is quite correct that this carnage should stop.
We have introduced new measures that follow the consistent coroners' reports in every province and territory following individual incidents which call for more training and for more and better safety equipment onboard boats.
These measures will not be intrusive. They will be easily complied with and will cut deaths on the water, which are quite unacceptable to the government.
