Paddle Canada to present on NWPA Changes
at Senate Hearings on May 05, 2009!
We apologize for the lateness of this message. Paddle Canada was finally given the approval to present our position to the Senate Committee (subject to change) regarding the changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act, as included in the Budget Implementation Act, on May 5th, 2009.
Paddle Canada will be sending Mr Richard Alexander, President to present our position on how these changes will impact the rights of paddlers in this country. Some people have asked us "Why bother, the amendments have passed?"
Our answer is simple...
We need to begin the process of restoring our government's respect for the ancient public right of navigation and access to waterways in Canada. What has happened with the passing of the Budget Implementation Act needs to be reversed. This is the first step in that process, but we need your help and feedback. As members of Paddle Canada you direct our voice on this important issue.
We would therefore ask that you please forward your thoughts and comments, by no later than 5pm EST 30-April-2009, to:
Sue Burns
Business Manager
