Subject: Bill 13 Update
The Niagara Divers' Association has added a Bill 13 update section to
their web site found at http://www.vaxxine.com/nda 


Because of the onslaught of letters and e-mail, the Standing Committee
can no longer rubber stamp this Bill before handing it on for third and
final reading. The Clerk has informed us that Standing Committee hearings
are to be scheduled for late March or early April.


The site contains links to;


- the actual Bill;


- an Admiralty Lawyer's interpretation of the Bill;


- the Hansard (transcript of the second reading of the Bill in
Parliament);


- copies of cover letters sent to Clubs in Canada/US, as well as form
letters for divers to send to MPP's, Standing Committee members, Ministry
of Tourism, etc.;


- MPP's and Standing Committee members' e-mail addresses;


- copies of letters sent by other dive clubs;


- a reply from one MPP who has some experience with diving in Ontario;


- letter and comments from concerned divers.


In the words of an Admiralty Lawyer <bold>"This is one of the worst
pieces of legislation ever written; It is the opposite of freedom. It
takes away all your rights as divers and only promises to tell you what
you might be allowed to do in the future"


</bold>The site<bold> </bold>will be updated on a regular basis.




Barbara Marshall, President

Niagara Divers' Association
