In the case of noise pollution, however, no change to the current limit values is proposed, since noise emissions relate not only to engine noise, but also to external environmental conditions: these two factors make it very difficult to amend the existing rules.

75 (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), every Canadian ship of 200 tons or more that was constructed on or after September 1, 1984 and every Canadian ship of 1600 tons or more that was constructed before September 1, 1984 shall be fitted with a voice communication system that includes receiving and transmitting stations, suitable for use in normal ambient noise conditions,

(3) On a Canadian ship of less than 1600 tons, the receiving and transmitting stations described in subsection (1) are not required if effective voice communications can be maintained in the ambient noise conditions.

There is a way to include, in a legally applicable manner, an understanding as to the types of differences that are legitimate for environmental law, including what I think are four key factors: that the receiving environments play a very critical role in determining whether investments are treated in a like manner, or what “similar circumstances” are, in the jargon of the agreement; that site-specific regulations are an appropriate environmental tool; that cumulative effects are valid considerations for regulatory purposes; and that the ratcheting up of environmental standards over time will mean that new investments are treated diff ...[+++]erently from old ones, whether they're foreign or domestic.
