HEADLINE: Comment sought on Fisheries Act enforcement policy
document
** Environment Canada (DOE) has released for comment a compliance and
enforcement policy document relating to the pollution prevention
and habitat protection provisions of the federal Fisheries Act.
These include sections 20-22, 26-28, 30, 32 and 34-42.
The document was drafted jointly by DOE and the Department of
Fisheries and Oceans (FDO), as the two departments share
responsibilities for administering and enforcing the pollution
prevention provisions of the Act. It outlines the role of
regulatory officials in promoting, monitoring and enforcing the
P2/habitat protection provisions of the Act. As a national policy,
it applies to all those with regulatory authority, from Ministers
to enforcement officers.
The policy document also explains the means available to the
authorities to promote and ensure compliance with the provisions.
Some of these include reviews of proposals (in preparation for
authorization), dissemination of education/information materials,
along with technology transfer initiatives, consultation on
regulatory development and amendment, and the issuing of
guidelines/codes of practice.
The full range of responses to alleged violations is set out as
well, including the circumstances under which they will be
exercised. In doing so, it helps clarify what is expected of all
who have responsibility for pollution prevention and habitat
protection, including governments, industry and individuals. The
policy includes a statement of commitment to fair, consistent and
predictable enforcement.
** The document has been placed on Environment Canada's Green Lane
for a 60-day comment period ending October 30. It may be viewed on
the Green Lane Web site at
www.ec.gc.ca/enforce/homepage/english/consult_e.htm. Inquiries and
comments may be directed to Nadine Levin, senior policy
