Yes, the house has finished this sitting and the proposed Bill is going to a govenment committee this April.

: I heard a rumour that Bill 13 is not on the agenda for any action until spring, is this true ?

: I had heard this list was a little tamer the tech diver list so I checked it out, I was a little
: surprised at the response to Gary Kozak's post. I've dove the Carlinford and place it in the 98%
: that Mr Trotter speaks of. Its a very enjoyable dive and the wreck deserves a permanent mooring.
: To refresh my memory I went to Chris Kohls book and the wreck was indeed found by Gary Kozak.
: We should be thanking him for sharing not asking where the bell is. The masts are gone,
: the stern is broken and mark the Brunswick left is pretty clear. The bell could be in the mud,
: it doesnt matter. A better question is whether anything has disappeared in the last couple of years.

: The post goes on to mention The Declaration of Independance and several Battlefields. These are all
: protected, maintained and open to the public, the laws that protect these are clear and enforceable.
: Bill 13 is neither. It wont put any permanent moorings in place, it wont stop fisherman from snagging
: nets on wrecks and it will likely tie up resources as each line gets tested in court.

: It needs to be clarified, rewritten and most of all stopped in its present form. If it wont be discussed
: until spring that would provide enough time for divers to be heard. What is the best way to proceed.

: Thanks
