As a result of the Larocque and l'Association des pêcheurs de poisson de fond acadien (APPFA) Federal Court of Canada decisions, DFO can no longer use fish to finance activities related to science and fisheries management, whether these are DFO or industry activities.
As such, DFO has developed a policy approach for an interim adjustment strategy for fisheries science resource survey activities impacted by the Federal Court of Canada decisions.
