This is the final evaluation report for The Atlantic Groundfish Strategy (TAGS). The project evaluated those components of TAGS for which Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) was responsible.

This evaluation study was carried out jointly by GTA Consultants of Shediac, New Brunswick and by Andy Rowe Consultants of St. John's, Newfoundland on behalf of HRDC's Evaluation and Data Development Branch (EDD). EDD, with support from the TAGS Evaluation Advisory Committee, provided overall direction for the evaluation study and monitoring of ongoing work. The ongoing Committee was comprised of representatives of the TAGS/HRDC program from National Headquarters (NHQ) and from the Regional Headquarters (RHQs), the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Treasury Board Secretariat, and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and the Federal Office for Regional Development in Québec (FORD-Q) participated towards the beginning of the project.

The evaluation team would like to thank the members of the evaluation advisory committee for their valued participation in this project. Their advice, commitment of time and goodwill were appreciated. We would like to acknowledge the work of EDD's Data Development and Technical Services Division for their long-term technical support and advice.

Finally we would like to thank the many recipients of program funding who generously shared information about the impact of TAGS on their lives and provided the evaluation team with important information about the program and its benefits.
