I move amendment No. 7:

In page 5, line 26, to delete “use by boats” and substitute “users”.

This amendment relates to "the charging and fixing of fees, tolls and charges in respect of use by boats of the canals" and also the taking of water from canals. The amendment seeks to replace the words "use by boats" with "users" because people who do not have boats could be users of the canals and take water from them. They could also be using locks and so forth. Why is the legislation stating charges can only applied to boats exclusively, not to anybody else?
