Transport Canada has implemented new laws to protect its oceans and strengthen marine safety. The changes include faster access to emergency services, improved response to marine pollution involving Noxious Liquid Substances (NLS), addressing abandoned boats, and providing better compensation for affected communities. These amendments aim to enhance marine safety, enforce navigation rules, and promote environmental protection. The legislative changes are a result of collaboration with Indigenous Nations, stakeholders, and Canadians and are part of the Oceans Protection Plan, which aims to protect the environment, support the economy, and advance reconciliation efforts.
