Pull the Plug! It's the Law
In Alberta, it is illegal to transport your watercraft with the drain plug still in place, as outlined under subsection 6.1 of the provincial Fisheries Ministerial Regulation.
Watercraft users must demonstrate upon inspection that their watercraft has been drained of standing water. Those who fail to comply may be subject to a court appearance and fined up to $100,000.
To review the Regulation, visit the Alberta Queen's Printer website at:

Ken, if I'm interpreting this right, the bill / law allows them to check your boat regardless - no exemptions. You can get to the good parts of the Bill 13 if you search for "inspect"

I haven't gone through an inspection station with a boat like your's. Yes, I do have "boat envy"
Mine has been easy with the little water crafts but I did notice varying degrees on bigger boats. Mostly as quick as my little boat...
