From the back cover: In this book, Donald Patton identifies key opportunities for Canadian firms and provides estimates of potential markets for shipbuilders, electronics firms, and manufacturers of hardware, winches, fish-processing equipment and nets. Examples are cited of successful Canadian firms aleady moving into these markets. Equally important for the future is manpower training to qualify residents of the region for the skilled jobs created in the fishery. This book reviews the training programs now operating in the four Atlantic provinces and offers specific proposals for strengthening this activity.
"This document will look at conflicts between treaty provisions and domestic legislation, taking as its example the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It will begin with a discussion of the procedure for ratifying treaties and passing legislation and will conclude with an explanation of the basic principles of implementing and interpreting treaties and laws"--Introduction.

Since 1976 there have been major changes in the circumstances affecting the fishing industry, particularly in Atlantic Canada. While there remain some underutilized species, and some stocks not yet fully rehabilitated, and also some real potential for enhancement/culture it is nevertheless clear that recent expansions in harvesting and processing capacity are such that the limits to growth are being reached and future development will have to concentrate on competitiveness, efficiency and extracting more value domestically from a limited resource. In light of these changing circumstances, the Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans decided in the summer of 1979 that a comprehensive review of fisheries policy should be undertaken to update the policy paper of 1976. As part of this policy review, an Atlantic Fisheries policy review has been carried out to establish an integrated consistent approach to issues affecting Atlantic Fisheries management in the 1980's. The general policy review has focused on the following sets of issues: (a) the consultative and decision-making process (b) resource management (c) primary sector problems (d) productivity and efficiency (e) marketing and (f) intergovernmental considerations and other matters.
This policy document has been prepared to provide fishers, corporations, Aboriginal organizations, and other interested Canadians with a clear and consistent statement of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' policy respecting the registration of commercial fishing enterprises and vessels, and the issuance of fishing licences in Eastern Canada. This document also provides objectives against which the appropriateness and effectiveness of policies are to be evaluated.
