AMENDMENT 1 IS RAISED TO EXTEND THE CLOSING DATE.
The Oceans Protection Plan (OPP), announced by the Prime Minister in November 2016, comprises multiple initiatives meant to ensure the protection and safety of Canada’s coasts in collaboration with coastal and Indigenous communities. The OPP priorities include addressing wrecked, abandoned and hazardous vessels.
As a result of the OPP, the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act was passed by Parliament and came into force on July 30, 2019. The Act is meant to address wrecked, abandoned and hazardous vessels in Canadian waters. Vessels that are wrecked, abandoned, dilapidated, or pose or may pose a hazard to the environment, coastlines, shorelines, infrastructure or any other interest, including the health, safety, well-being and economic interests of the public.
In the spirit of this new Act, the Government of Canada sought the participation of industry and First Nations, Inuit and Métis (Indigenous) partners in spring 2020 to provide feedback on their capacity to provide the services that may be required to address the problematic vessels along Canada’s major waterways (Pacific and Atlantic coasts, as well as the Arctic and Great Lakes, and inland waters):

Currently, the Government of Canada is seeking to better understand the options available for services for the disposal of vessels in an environmentally sound manner, in particular regarding smaller fibreglass-hulled and / or wood-hulled vessels. The Government of Canada is looking to learn more about these services and their availability across Canada, for consideration in the development of the functional instruments of the National Procurement Strategy to Address Wrecked, Abandoned and Hazardous Vessels.
Industry stakeholders and Indigenous partners that would like to participate in this exercise should provide the information and answer the questions requested in Appendix 1.
