Nanaimo Cowichan MP Jean Crowder made an appeal for support from coastal BC’s Conservative MPs during the second round of debate on her derelict vessels bill…
Crowder’s legislation would make the Coast Guard receiver of wrecks, something she says would clear up a lot of confusion over who’s responsible. She also says it’s a sensible first step toward solving a problem the government hasn’t done anything about during her time on Parliament Hill
A vote is set for next Wednesday, but without at least some Conservatives on side the bill is not likely to pass.
One of those goverment MPs Crowder is trying to sway – John Weston of West Vancouver Sunshine Coast – says he’s planning to introduce his own bill on the issue.
