So this might seem like a bit of a silly question but do you need a pleasure craft license (or whatever the boating license is called) for a float tube/pontoon? I Tried looking on the transport canada website but failed to see anything mentioning it. Im guessing it means you don't?

Anyone born after April 1, 1983 must carry proof of competency to operate any type or size of motorboat (including a jet ski or a Seadoo) in Canada.

Any boater (regardless of age) must carry proof of competency while operating any type of motorboat (gas, diesel, or electric) that is less than 4 m (13 ft) in length.

In simple words, assuming your pontoon is not motor-powered, then NO.

So what's the fine for not having your operators card? I've got a 7.5' pram with a 30lb thrust minn kota.

Seems to be up to $ 250.00 per offence.
