Transport committee  No. Transport Canada came out with regulations last year or the year before. They're minimal regulations, and our guide training in our industry far exceeds the Transport Canada requirements.

Transport committee  Are you asking me? Not being a fisherman--

Transport committee  There are two things. We've been in business since 1975, and liability insurance for our industry is very hard to come by. For us, everybody in the outdoor industry, in the adventure industry, whether it's on land or water, requires a waiver of release. We own a ski resort just west of Ottawa, and on the back of every ticket that is printed is our waiver and release.

Transport committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm the founder and president of Wilderness Tours, Canada's largest whitewater rafting company, based near Beachburg, Ontario, a 90-minute drive west of Ottawa. From starting with just a handful of enthusiasts in 1975, Wilderness Tours now guides 30,000 adventurers down the rapids of the Ottawa River every summer.
