The bill to amend the Shipbuilding Bounties Amendment Act 1945 has been read a first and second time and will be published with Objects and Reasons. Written comments are invited to Secretary for Natural Resources by May 15, 1947, K. J. Carter, Secretary for Natural Resources.
The draft bill broadens the 1945 shipbuilding bounty to Lloyds classed vessels and those used in the Seal fishery, with a five year qualifier for Newfoundland fishery ships. It caps dragger type bounty at 150 tons while preserving unlimited tonnage for existing pre Bill constructions.
The draft Bill discusses ships engaged in the Sealfishery with no provisions in the referenced Section. Clause 5 aims to grant retrospective effect to the provisions cited in the draft, clarifying the legal standing of past actions under the new rules.
The government enacts changes to the Shipbuilding Bounties framework, repealing sections of the 1945 act and substituting new bounty rates for ships of various tonnages. Rates include 90 dollars per ton for ships 80 to 150 tons and 70 dollars per ton for ships 12 to 30 tons, with conditions tied to fishing and seal fishery use in Newfoundland.
The act outlines bounties for Newfoundland fisheries ships, defining eligibility windows for build permits issued 1944 to 1948, extends aid to tragger type ships begun before passage, and treats seal fishery vessels as engaged in Newfoundland fishing. It sets effective date February 19, 1945 and cites the act title Shipbuilding Bounties Amendment Act 1947.
