FN1247-Opportunity for Relinquishment of Commercial Fishing Licence Eligibilities and/or Quota Until December 18, 2015
The Government of Canada is committed to expanding opportunities for Aboriginal peoples to participate in Pacific commercial fisheries. At this time, funding is anticipated to be available under Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Pacific Region Aboriginal programs for licence eligibility and quota relinquishments to be completed by March 31, 2016. New this year under the Pacific Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiative (PICFI), funding will also be available to First Nations participating in the program to acquire licence eligibilities and quota directly. To assist First Nations in the success of this initiative, DFO may share information collected on applications received through this relinquishment opportunity with participating First Nations Commercial Fishing Enterprises (CFEs). A relinquishment application package was recently mailed out to stakeholders informing them of the current relinquishment opportunity, and application submissions will be accepted until December 18, 2015. Please be aware that DFO is only able to accept relinquishment offers that fall within current market value ranges, which vary over time. These ranges are determined through a combination of factors including third party collection of data on actual market transactions and surveys with various industry advisory board experts. Financial considerations may impact your decision on whether or not to relinquish commercial licence eligibilities and/or quota. It is recommended that you seek independent advice regarding income tax, financial, legal and other implications related to relinquishing licence eligibilities and/or quota. Further information related to the relinquishment program can be found on the following DFO web pages: PICFI PROGRAM http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/picfi-ipcip/index-eng.html APPLICATION FORMS http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/picfi-ipcip/acquisition-eng.html ATP Program http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/abor-autoc/atp-ptaa-eng.html FOR MORE INFORMATION: For further information or questions you may call the Vancouver Pacific Fishery Licence Unit at 604-666-1640.
