Abstract

This Act makes provision for the development and use of "scheduled harbours". "Scheduled harbour" means any fishing or recreational harbour or portion thereof included in a schedule prescribed by Regulations. The use, management and maintenance of every scheduled harbour, the enforcement of regulations relating thereto and the collection of charges for the use of every scheduled harbour are under the control and administration of the Minister, who may undertake projects for the acquisition, development, construction, improvement or repair of any scheduled harbour or any fishing or recreational harbour. For this purpose the Minister may enter into an agreement with any province to provide for the undertaking jointly with the government of the province or any agency thereof of any project that the Minister is authorized to undertake. The Minister may: (a) lease any scheduled harbour or any part thereof to any person; (b) grant a licence to any person for the use of any scheduled harbour or any part thereof; and (c) enter into an agreement with the government of any province or any agency thereof for the occupancy and use of any scheduled harbour or any part thereof. For purpose of enforcing this Act and the regulations, the Minister may designate enforcement officers.
