The bill also carried over miscellaneous urgent items (for example, “special purpose ships and personnel,” ballast water management, and the requirement for the wearing of life jackets) from Bill C-73, a proposed amending bill,(1) which had died on the Order Paper as a result of the April 1997 election call.
Le projet de loi reprenait également diverses dispositions urgentes (p. ex. navires et personnel à vocation particulière, gestion des eaux de ballast et exigence du port de gilets de sauvetage) du projet de loi modificatif C-73(1), mort au Feuilleton lors du déclenchement des élections d’avril 1997.
