Federal-Provincial Introductions and Transfers Committee

The Federal-Provincial Introductions and Transfers Committee was formed with a Memorandum of Understanding among: Department of Fisheries and Oceans; the B.C. Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (now Water, Land and Air Protection) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

It is a technical committee whose primary role is to advise the above agencies on fish introduction and transfer issues. It meets at least four times per year, and consists of up to six members (two from each of DFO, and the appropriate provincial ministries).
