it's simply unacceptable that there is any confusion whatever remaining concerning which safety certificates are acceptable and which are not!
There can't be all that many programs that are NASBLA-certified. Might I suggest that somebody somebody who has some "pull" with the MP (since I'm a "flatlander", I doubt that they'd give a darn for anything I had to say) suggest that somebody within the department with the requisite knowledge simply print out a list of such programs, mark "yes" or "no" next to each, and post it on their site?
I suspect that such a list would be a great help to their own officers as well as to the boating public!
