One or two accidents that may or may not occur in the next two years is not a large enough statistical universe to use for evaluating speed limits. Anyway preventing accidents is not the main reason I support speed limits.

I would expect to see small increases in tourism and the use of unpowered vessels. However there are so many other factors that a skeptic will be able explain away these changes.

The best way, in my opinion, will be to listen to the opinions of MP officers, commercial boat captains, camp directors, marina operators etc. You will have to look past some bias, but I think a consensus can easily be found.
