Over the past several months, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has been
developing the proposed Pacific Aquaculture Regulations under the Fisheries Act.
The proposed federal regulations have taken into account the existing provincial
aquaculture regulations, as well as the feedback and written comments received
by the department during consultations with First Nations, stakeholders and
interested members of the public.
On July 10, 2010, the proposed Pacific Aquaculture Regulations were pre-
published in Part I of the Canada Gazette for a 60-day public comment period.
Following the comment period, the submissions will be reviewed and amendments
will be made as necessary. The proposed regulations will then be submitted for
review and approval by the Governor in Council, before being published in final
form in the Canada Gazette, Part II, with a view to ensuring that the new federal
regulations will be in force prior to December, 2010.
