AIUI Transport Canada recently made a regulation restricting all aircraft to no 
more than one canoe on the floats, which has had the effect of seriously 
increasing the cost of flying in for remote canoe trips.  I do not know exactly 
where to search for the regs, but have had freinds forced to give up plans for 
fly-in trips because the Beaver could no longer take a "full" load.
