Repeal the subsection, substitute:

Giving notice

 (1) The officer must give written notice of the seizure of the thing:
 (a) if the thing is, or was on, a boat, or was used in connection with a boat:
 (i) to the person who was the master of the boat immediately before the seizure; or
 (ii) to the person whom the officer has reasonable grounds to believe was the master of the boat immediately before the seizure; or
 (b) in a case not covered by paragraph (a):
 (i) to the owner of the thing; or
 (ii) to the person who had possession, custody or control of the thing immediately before it was seized.

 (1A) However, if the officer cannot conveniently give the notice to the person in person, the officer may give written notice of the seizure of the thing by fixing the notice to a prominent part of the thing, unless the thing is a fish.
