Chairpersons: Jake Rice
Editor: Erika Thorleifson

Summary

These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) National Peer Review meeting to provide science advice to support development of a fisheries protection policy for Canada in Montreal, Quebec. Working papers focusing on species and habitats supporting commercial, recreational and aboriginal (CRA) fisheries, ongoing productivity and the contribution of relevant fish to ongoing productivity of CRA fisheries were presented for peer review.

The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be given in a Science Advisory Report providing advice to DFO Program Policy Sector to inform the interpretation of terms used in the revised Fisheries Act.
