NMMA Canada submits joint letter to Transport Canada on Engine Noise Consultations

NMMA Canada

July 11, 2022

For some time now, NMMA Canada has alerted the industry through their newsletters, about Engine Noise Consultations and private sector lobbying efforts.

Transport Canada recently held a public consultation on the topic of boat engine noise emissions. In response, NMMA Canada and the Marine Trade Associations penned a joint letter outlining the industry’s position. As the letter states:

“NMMA Canada and the recreational marine industry support the concept of reasonable, cost-effective legislation that protects the boating environment while preserving boating privileges. We strongly support the position that all boats be equipped with exhaust silencers and that boats be operated in a safe, quiet manner. We are eager to work with the government to develop regulations that reflect these principles.”
