Canada Opposes New York Rules For Treatment of Ballast Water

摘要

Canada believes that New York state's planned ballast water requirements for vessels in the St. Lawrence Seaway are unachievable, will cause serious economic harm, and will delay efforts to better protect the Great Lakes from aquatic invasive species, the parliamentary secretary to Transport Minister Denis Level said Nov. 18. But support in the United States for Canada's position suggests that the dispute over managing shared waters can be resolved, Pierre Poilievre said in a prepared statement after meeting in New York City with U.S. industry and political representatives.
