Résumé

An Act to give effect to the Treaty relating to the boundary waters and to questions arising along the boundary between Canada and the United States made between the United Kingdom and the United States, signed at Washington on January 11, 1909, and the protocol of May 5, 1910, as set out in the Schedule. These international agreements are hereby confirmed and sanctioned. Any interference with or diversion from their natural channel of any waters in Canada, which in their natural channels would flow across the boundary between Canada and the United States or into boundary waters, as defined in the treaty, resulting in any injury on the United States side of the boundary, gives the same rights and entitles the injured parties to the same legal remedies as if the injury took place in that part of Canada where the interference or diversion occurs (sect. 4). Subsequent sections outline powers of the Federal Court and the International Joint Water Commission, appointed and constituted pursuant to the Treaty, with respect to legal proceedings under this Act. (9 sections)
