RECOMMENDATION |
|
|
|
His Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of
Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances,
in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled ``An Act
respecting the inspection of fish and marine plants''.
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment provides statutory authority for the inspection of
fishing vessels, transport vehicles, processing plants and fish and
marine plants destined for interprovincial and international trade or
imported into Canada from other countries.
|
|
|
|
The enactment strengthens the authority of the Minister of Fisheries
and Oceans and inspectors to take action where fish products pose a
danger to public health and safety, are of unacceptable quality or are
fraudulently marketed and brings the penalties for contraventions up to
date. It also facilitates cost recovery and enables the Canadian Fish
Inspection Service to forge enhanced working relationships with
industry and other inspection agencies in Canada and abroad.
