Regarding paragraph 2, the Bill already provides for the publication of the canal by-laws on its website. This amendment is unnecessary.
On paragraph 3, this is unnecessary because the by-laws are published online. This is a procedural issue and is not for primary legislation. If an authorised officer tells a person that he or she is breaking a by-law the officer will specify which one, and the person can look it up. The officer will say which by-law is being broken so it should not be necessary to physically show the person the piece of paper with the by-law on it.
