The Quebec Fisheries Fund is a contribution program funded jointly by the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec. It will invest over $50 million over 5 years to support Quebec’s fish and seafood sector.
The program is funded 60% by the Government of Canada and 40% by the Government of Quebec.
The fund aims to transform Quebec’s fish and seafood sector and drive innovation, with a focus on development to better meet growing market demand for high-quality, sustainably sourced fish and seafood products.
It will enable the sector to rely on the following 4 pillars for its development:
- Innovation will support the development or commercialization of new products, processes, technologies or equipment that improve the productivity, competitiveness, sustainability or marketability of the sector.
- Infrastructure will support the adoption, adaptation or installation of new products, processes, technologies or equipment that improve the productivity, competitiveness, sustainability or marketability of the sector.
- Scientific partnerships will support the enhancement of knowledge or adaptive capacity in response to ecosystem changes and their impacts on the commercial fishery.
- Market development and diversification will support expanded access to a range of markets, as well as increased access to Canadian and international markets, by reducing the impact of trade barriers while supporting growth in the value of Quebec seafood products.
