[Talk-ca] canvec mep feature 1150012 10- Coastal water - (Eau côtière) = Ocean - ( Océan )

[Frank Steggink]

Hi Daniel,

Is the permanency attribute only used for tidal influences, or does it 
indicate intermittent rivers / lakes as well? I'm not really sure if 
there are such lakes in the prairies, so I want to make sure that they 
aren't imported incorrectly.
Since you describe that the land use is different for tidal areas, is 
there a way to distinguish among them, or should this information be 
provided by the specification code?
