I honestly do not know where you are getting this unless trying to cause a stir.

1. prioritize safety "laws" does not mean only one law. ALL LAWS to be reviewed.
2. This was a committee to focus on all safety regulations to be able to provide focus. With the current budget cuts we want to make sure that the MP has a study to show what laws will provide the most safety and list them accordingly. This way if there are further budget cuts the laws that are most helpful are statistically verified so they can be focused on.
3. Not stirring the pot but if the SL is so useful to safety then you have nothing to worry about even if this was the intention, which its not.
4. Due to budget cuts no committees are being formed on any topic so this is a mute point because the bill has been withdrawn.
5. It is safe to say with less resources it will be difficult to enforce all laws as competently as in the past. That being said a study showing what regulations are most helpful is only logical.
6. There are some out dated laws on the books that also need to be addressed. From our research and discussions there has never been an extensive review of all boating laws. It only makes sense that over time these should be reviewed to make sure we are utilizing current technology and not enforcing out dated or redundant regulations.

No need to spin every LSR that is safety related into a SL debate.
