REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issues

Schedule 3 to the Vessel Operation Restriction Regulations (the Regulations) includes restrictions on waters where power-driven vessels are prohibited. This schedule, however, does not include restrictions for the use of electric motors. Significant advances in technology have increased the power of electric motors on vessels, rendering them capable of performing a variety of different activities, including recreational towing. These advances in technology on electric motors have made it necessary to regulate their use on specified waters.

In addition, while administering the Regulations, and in consultation with local authorities and the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations (SJCSR), errors in geographical coordinates have been identified in the text of the Regulations that would be corrected through the proposed amendments.

Background

Pursuant to the Regulations, Transport Canada (TC) is responsible for regulating boating activities and navigation on Canadian waters to enhance the safety of navigation, to protect the public interest and to protect the environment. Under its mandate, TC receives and responds to requests made by local authorities to enforce restrictions through the Regulations. Such restrictions can include prohibitions with respect to access to specified waters by vessels or classes of vessels; restrictions on the mode of propulsion used, maximum engine power or speed limits; and prohibitions on recreational towing (e.g. water-skiing) activities. These restrictions are set out in the schedules to the Regulations. The schedules also specify waters in which a permit is required in order to hold a sporting, recreational or public event or activity (e.g. regattas and dragon boat races).

In April 2008, following the coming into force of the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 footnote 1 (CSA 2001), the Regulations replaced the old Boating Restriction Regulations (BRRs). When the BRRs were first enacted in June 1972, the restrictions were based on traditional electric trolling motors, with a power limit of approximately 1.5 kilowatt (kW). When the Regulations entered into force in 2008, Schedule 3 to the Regulations (Waters on Which Power-driven Vessels Are Prohibited) included restrictions to prohibit power-driven vessels on certain bodies of water, while still enabling the use of traditional electric trolling motors. Traditional electric trolling motors were not a concern because they were not powerful enough to enable the user to undertake recreational towing activities.

Objective

The objectives of the proposed amendments are to ensure safety and to keep up with advances in technology by including a maximum 7.5 kW aggregate power for electric motors on vessels in areas where restrictions already exist. The proposed amendments also assist in the maintenance of an effective enforcement regime, promote the viable and effective use of Canadian waters, and increase safety for all boaters. The proposed amendments would ensure the most reliable and up-to-date information is contained within the Regulations.

Description

The proposed amendments would make a change to subsection 2(3) of the Regulations to include a maximum kilowatt aggregate power of 7.5 kW for electric motors when used in the waters identified in Schedule 3. This change would only apply to those areas where regulatory restrictions already exist.

The 7.5 kW aggregate maximum power level is greater than the traditional electric power level of a trolling motor (usually 1.5 kW), on which the restrictions in the Regulations were originally based. Having a 7.5 kW maximum power level is a practical solution as it is generally aligned with the same power level limits for gas-powered engines in the Regulations where restrictions occur (e.g. 7.5 kW is equivalent to 10 horsepower [hp]). The proposed amendment would still allow for vessels with electric motors to operate on the waters identified in Schedule 3, but it would ensure that those vessels do not have electric motors on board that would give them the ability to undertake recreational towing activities where such activities are otherwise prohibited for power-driven vessels.

In addition, a proposed administrative amendment to subsection 9(1) would be made to add the kilowatt power limit to the signage requirements. These proposed changes would bring the Regulations in line with the original intent of the restrictions, which is to prohibit powered vessel activities (such as recreational towing) for those bodies of water included in Schedule 3 to the Regulations.

The proposed amendments would also update the geographical coordinates for 2 bodies of water in Saskatchewan; 10 bodies of water in Ontario; 31 bodies of water in Quebec; and 3 bodies of water in British Columbia. Updates and corrections to location references and geographical coordinates in the schedules to the Regulations would improve the accuracy and enforceability of the Regulations. These updates would enhance the safety of navigation on certain Canadian waters by reducing the likelihood of misinterpretation and confusion for users of the waters and enforcement partners, and would result in savings due to a reduction in compliance calls to enforcement agencies. Correcting the administrative issues identified by the SJCSR would increase the clarity and enforceability of the Regulations, decrease potential confusion between users of the waterways and TC's enforcement partners, and would lead to increased safety for all users.

For example:

Regulatory development

Consultation

A presentation on the proposed amendments to the Regulations was made during the Recreational Boating Standing Committee session at the November 2018 Canadian Marine Advisory Council footnote 2 (CMAC) meeting. The proposed amendments were also discussed at the meeting of the National Recreational Boating Advisory Council footnote 3 (NRBAC) on November 14, 2018. The proposed amendments were again discussed at the April 2019 CMAC meeting and the April 17, 2019, meeting of the NRBAC. During the consultations with stakeholders, TC explained that the 7.5 kW power limit for electric motors was introduced in order to align the power limit of electric motors with the same power level (horsepower) limits for gas-powered engines throughout the Regulations (i.e. 10 hp is equivalent to 7.5 kW), where restrictions already exist under Schedule 3. No comments were received from stakeholders following the consultations.

Modern treaty obligations and Indigenous engagement and consultation

In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on the Federal Approach to Modern Treaty Implementation, analysis was undertaken to determine whether the proposed amendments are likely to give rise to modern treaty obligations. This assessment examined the geographical scope and subject matter of the proposed amendments in relation to modern treaties in effect, and after examination, no implications or impacts on modern treaties are identified. Where bodies of water are located within modern treaty areas, the modern treaty government will be notified of the proposed amendments to the Regulations.

Regulatory analysis

Benefits and costs

The proposed amendments are administrative in nature. There may be marginal safety benefits realized by having the correct geographical locations listed in the schedules to the Regulations because accurate information allows water body users to know the proper locations where restrictions exist, and to act accordingly in those areas.

There are minimal identified savings for the Government which may be seen in reduced compliance calls to enforcement agencies regarding confusion in geographic location identifiers; it may allow for more effective enforcement of the listed restrictions.

Small business lens

The small business lens does not apply to these amendments, as there are no costs to small business.

One-for-one rule

The one-for-one rule does not apply to these amendments, as there is no change in administrative costs or burden to business.

Regulatory cooperation and alignment

The proposed amendments are not in relation to work or commitments under a formal regulatory cooperation forum.

Strategic environmental assessment

In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan and Program Proposals, a preliminary scan concluded that a strategic environmental assessment is not required.

Gender-based analysis plus

No gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) impacts have been identified for this proposal.

Implementation, compliance and enforcement, and service standards

Pursuant to the Regulations, enforcement officers have a range of tools available to them and the latitude to apply an appropriate tool to a particular violation. These tools include, but are not limited to, providing educational information, fostering awareness of what constitutes safe boating, the ability to issue a warning or multiple warnings and, if required, issuing tickets with fines. The decision on how to proceed is left solely to the judgment of the enforcement officer. The table in section 16 of the Regulations sets out the persons or classes of persons that are appointed or specified as enforcement officers under these Regulations and section 17 further details the powers delegated to them.

The Contraventions Regulations, made pursuant to the Contraventions Act, set out prescribed fine amounts for contraventions of regulations, including regulations made under the CSA 2001. A schedule to the Contraventions Regulations sets out specific contravention amounts to a maximum of $500 for violations of the Regulations. Enforcement is by way of summary conviction or ticketing under the Contraventions Act.

As matters pertaining to navigation and shipping fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government, the Regulations are a tool that local authorities can apply and use in response to local safety situations and threats to the environment or the public interest in their jurisdictions. Since the philosophy behind the Regulations is one of partnership between federal, provincial and municipal governments through an existing program, TC staff provides regulatory briefings and other support to assist local enforcement agencies in their enforcement functions.
