In 2014, Transport Canada identified this 100-year old boat as a vessel of concern. The government knew it posed a threat. However, it took no action until it sank. We are grateful for the Coast Guard's swift action. However, this is yet another example of the Liberal government's failed boat-by-boat approach on abandoned vessels. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5071145\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why did the government do nothing to prevent this vessel sinking, and will the government support my legislation to solve abandoned vessels once and for all?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5071144\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, dimanche soir, un navire de 90 pieds, l'<em>Anapaya</em>, a coul\u00e9 au port de Ladysmith, d\u00e9versant du p\u00e9trole dans l'oc\u00e9an. En 2014, Transports Canada avait d\u00e9termin\u00e9 que ce vieux bateau de 100 ans \u00e9tait un navire pr\u00e9occupant. Le gouvernement savait qu'il pr\u00e9sentait un danger. Or, il n'a rien fait jusqu'\u00e0 ce qu'il coule. Nous sommes reconnaissants de l'intervention rapide de la Garde c\u00f4ti\u00e8re. Toutefois, ceci montre une fois de plus que la strat\u00e9gie au cas par cas du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des navires abandonn\u00e9s ne fonctionne pas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5071145\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le gouvernement n'a-t-il rien fait pour emp\u00eacher ce navire de couler? Appuiera-t-il mon projet de loi en vue de r\u00e9gler une fois pour toutes la question des navires abandonn\u00e9s?</p>"
