Iow, you're saying that in Canada there is no "3 mile limit" in coastal
waters...that raw sewage may be discharged directly overboard from the toilet
and holding tanks may be dumped anywhere in coastal Canadian waters except in
those areas specifically designated "no discharge?"

Kinda, I think...What I'm saying is that the "Type I" Type II" and "Type III"
are purely American designations - they have no legal definition in Canada (or
other parts of the world).

This is why a Raritan treatment system doesn't make much sense in Canada: "raw"
and "treated" sewage is the same.

I'd check the Canadian regs to see what and where dumping is legal. I know what
you say is true for Georgia Strait: No dumping ANYTHING in the "no discharge"
zones, but you can empty your holding tank (raw or treated) in Georgia Strait.
