Chapter 23
Help Shape the Future – Regulatory Reform
The Canada
Shipping Act has been overhauled to provide a modernized statutory
framework for the Canadian shipping industry that takes into account safety,
global standards, changes in marine operational practices and technological
advances. Many of the technical details in the old Act will be updated
and moved to new regulations and/or standards. This will improve the clarity,
consistency, and efficiency of the legislation and ultimately, enhance
safety outcomes.
Leading up to the implementation of the Canada Shipping Act, 2001,
regulations will be developed that will contribute to the economic performance
of the marine industry while maintaining safety and protection of the
marine environment.
Transport Canada is committed to engaging the marine community in meaningful
discussion and working toward a shared vision of regulatory reform that
takes into account the needs and concerns of the marine community.
Consultation
Regulations within the framework of the Canada Shipping Act, 2001
will influence your activities related to commercial shipping, so it is
important to make your opinion and interests heard. Good legislation requires
active public participation in the development, implementation, and review
of regulations, and Transport Canada’s responsiveness to consider
and integrate advice into the regulatory reform process. We will do our
part, but we need your participation.
