Mr. Speaker, we need a comprehensive approach to addressing this complex issue of abandoned vessels and wrecks, and it requires engagement with those most directly connected to the problem. We have established very strong working relationships with the provinces and territories on the issue. We continue to work with them on implementing a national strategy.
We have taken very meaningful steps to address the issue, including by providing funding for, and acting to deal with, legacy problem vessels. We are actively working to improve vessel ownership information and we have tabled the Nairobi convention in the House, demonstrating our commitment to ensure owners are strictly liable for remediating wrecks.
Our commitment is clear, our action has been meaningful, and we have not finished yet.
