I move amendment No. 16:

In page 30, subsection (1)(c), lines 20 and 21, to delete "(including the capacity thereof)".

This amendment deals with fines not paid within the required time. The Bill reads "in the event of such fine and costs (if any) not being paid within the said time, such fine and costs (if any) may be recovered by distress and the sale of such boat". It is a worthwhile amendment because it observes the principles of force majeure. We seek a general provision, not one that includes the capacities of boats.
