Prohibiting camping on water within 300 meters of a developed shoreline, including any waterfront structure, dock, boathouse, etc is an absurd violation of boaters rights. This will effectively eliminate the allowable cruising grounds to very few bays left in Ontario. It would be nearly impossible to access protected bays and sites without being in violation of this rule. This is unconstitutional and an oppression by land owners towards a way-of-living of the cruising community. This cannot be implemented. The only plus is that it would make it slightly more difficult for land owners to continue driving golf balls at our vessels... But come on.. listen to that. It's only funny because it's true. And that's sad. Cottage owners have gone too far with lobbying for this type of amendment. This further marginalizes the freedoms of those who chose to navigate the waters because they cannot afford to own waterfront property in these areas. Ontario's waters are not owned by the rich and the rich shouldn't be the only ones allowed access to them. Is this even Canada anymore??
