Versions of s. 132(1)

The Minister may, on such conditions as he deems fit, exempt any ship from any requirement contained in regulations made under subsection 110(1) or from any requirement contained in section 130, or dispense with the observance of any such requirement in the case of any ship, if he is satisfied that the requirement has been substantially complied with in the case of that ship, or that compliance with the requirement is unnecessary in the circumstances of the case, and that the action taken or provision made with respect to the subject-matter of the requirement in the case of the ship is as effective as actual compliance with the requirement.
