The federal minister of transportation says he’ll review a report by the Transportation Safety Board that is again calling for stricter rules on stability testing for small fishing boats.
Ottawa will produce a response into the findings on the 2020 sinking of the Chief William Saulis, which resulted in six deaths, within 90 days. One of the victims, Michael Drake, was from Fortune.
For years now the T-S-B has called on his department to change rules to require all fishing vessels to have a stability assessment done by naval architects.
It says those tests would have indicated the risks that the Chief William Saulis faced due to modifications it had undergone, and would have given the crew information vital to their safety.
