Based on an independent review of the program, the Department has made some 
changes to the Pacific Salmon Treaty Voluntary Salmon Troll Licence Retirement 
Program. A copy of the review can be found on the Department's library online 
WAVES catalogue at: 
http://waves-vagues.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/Library/365139.pdf 

In consideration of the results of the review and associated recommendations, 
several updates to the process have been made to respond to recommendations 
including: 
- improvements to communication and administration of the program; 
- revision of the fair market value (FMV) used by the Department to determine 
which licence retirement offers to accept; and 
- plans to continue the current licence retirement program until December, 31, 
2018 or no funds remain. 

Should funds remain after December 2018; the Department will review future uses 
of any remaining funds at that time.

All information will be available online and communication related 
to the program will be done through the current email address on record with 
the Pacific Fishery Licence Unit for each salmon troll vessel owner. 

Please ensure that the Department has your correct email address. You can 
confirm your email address on record through the National Online Licensing 
Database at: https://fishing-peche.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/
