[Public-list] Stove Replacement

[John Birch]

We will all  need a coast guard operators permit by 2009 for all powered 
craft in Canada, just that it is being phased in with the biggest problems 
being dealt with first - ie kids operating dad's runabout. Statistically, 
the biggest number of fatalities has involved small power boats.

It seems logical to me to address it this way and not very disruptive seeing 
as it was a 7 year phase-in - unexpectedly considerate for a government 
requirement.

Just my 2 cents anyway.

Cheers,
John
