The Act also includes provisions for the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat. In 2012, numerous changes to the Act were made. Those legislative amendments entered into force in November 2013. In light of concerns expressed by various segments of the population regarding those changes to the Government of Canada and the mandate letter requesting the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard to “review the previous government’s changes” to the Act, on 19 September 2016, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans (“the Committee”) agreed to review and study the scope of application of the Fisheries Act, and specifically the serious harm to fish prohibition; how the prohibition is implemented to protect fish and fish habitat; the capacity of Fisheries and Oceans Canada to deliver on fish and fish habitat protection through project review, monitoring, and enforcement; the definitions of serious harm to fish and commercial, recreational, and Aboriginal fisheries; the use of regulatory authorities under the Fisheries Act; and other related provisions of the Act, and provide its recommendations in a report to the House”--Introd., p. 1. gccst Fisheries management gccst Nature conservation gccst Legislation Simms, Scott, 1969- Examen des modifications apportées à la Loi sur les pêches en 2012 (CaOODSP)9.833055 Report of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans ; 6th report, 42nd Parliament, 1st session.
