Abstract
A recent publication concluded that “... Canadian water transportation policy is a history of: laissez faire; protection, financing and subsidization; government operation, ownership and privatization; expanded protection; commercialization; and a market oriented philosophy.” Consistent with this larger policy process, subsidiary policy and regulation making for maritime safety and vessel-source pollution in Canada have followed the roller-coaster pattern, punctuated by parallel milestones.
