Bill C-344

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 15, 2023
An Act to amend the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act (national strategy respecting abandoned vessels)
  • Bill C-344 is a proposed law that would change the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act in Canada to create a national strategy to deal with abandoned vessels. The strategy would include things like identifying the owners of abandoned boats, evaluating fees to get rid of them, creating disposal areas for these boats, and finding better ways to recycle or dispose of them without hurting the environment. The strategy would also assess how much money and resources are needed to prevent and respond to abandoned vessels and would involve cooperation with Indigenous communities and provincial governments. The Minister responsible would have to report on the progress of the strategy annually and share it online.

Bill C-258

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
March 04, 2022
An Act to amend the Fisheries Act (closed containment aquaculture)
  • Bill C-258 is an amendment to the Fisheries Act in Canada. It prohibits the commercial use of finfish aquaculture in Canadian fisheries waters off the Pacific Coast, unless it is done in closed containment facilities. Closed containment facilities are solid wall structures onshore or offshore that prevent fish, parasites, waste, and pollutants from escaping into the surrounding marine systems. The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans is required to create a plan to support the transition to closed containment facilities and protect the jobs and financial security of workers in the sector. This plan will include measures such as training and income support through the employment insurance system.
