There are four things: one, exclusion of new construction ships built in Canadian shipyards from the present Revenue Canada leasing regulations; two, provision of an improved export financing and loan guarantee program similar to the title XI program in the U.S.; three, provision of a refundable tax credit to Canadian shipowners of shipbuilders who contract to build a ship or contract for conversion with change of emission, mid-life refit or major refit; and four, eliminate the one-sided aspects of NAFTA which allow the U.S. to sell new or used ships duty free in Canada yet absolutely prohibit Canadian access to the U.S. market.
Premièrement, les nouveaux navires construits dans les chantiers maritimes canadiens ne doivent pas être soumis aux dispositions des règlements de crédit-bail actuels de Revenu Canada. Deuxièmement, il faut instaurer un programme amélioré de financement à l'exportation et de garantie de prêt semblable au programme «Title XI» en vigueur aux États-Unis.
