The Law forbids ships from dumping solid or liquid waste into Canadas Arctic Waters and compels them to notify Canadian officials in the event of an Oil spill. Currently the Law covers Waters up to 100 nautical Miles from Canadas shores. The new legislation will extend that limit to 200 nautical Miles.
