GL: U.S. boats in Canadian waters

[ed]

>From the Canadian gov't. website:

Portable Toilets

Portable toilets are illegal on Ontario waters.
*The owner of a pleasure craft shall ensure that each toilet and the holding 
tank(s) is/are installed so that;
*The toilet and equipment are connected in such a manner that the equipment 
receives all toilet waste from the toilet.
*Equipment designed for the storage of human excrement is provided with a 
deck fitting and such connecting piping as is necessary for the removal of 
toilet waste by shore-based pumping equipment.
*No means of removal of toilet waste is provided other than the means 
mentioned above.
*All parts of the system for removal of toilet waste are congruent with one 
another and the boat.


I guess this means composting toilets like the airhead are illegal?
Sounds like a Y-valve for overboard discharge is also illegal?

This is different than the US requirement that the Y-valve be locked out of 
the overboard discharge side. I may have to re-think my plan for this summer 
to visit Ontario, I'm not ripping out my Y-valves and overboard discharge 
lines. Not sure at all what that last line means.
