To legally conduct these sea kayaking tours, one needs
permits from many different organizations including BC Parks, to operate in any of the
local marine parks; The BC Ministry of Natural Resource Operations, to utilize any of the government owned lands, Private Individuals and businesses to utilize launch sites,
water, etc. and our many North Island First Nations in order to utilize their lands and traditional homes.
Under Young's bill, utility companies would still have to obtain a Consumptive Use Permit
from a
local water management district but, once they draw the
water and use it, it would be theirs and no longer subject to additional
permitting.
