Description:
The federal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans has the legislative responsibility for the administration and enforcement of the Fisheries Act. The Minister reports annually to Parliament on the administration and enforcement of the fish habitat protection and pollution prevention provisions of the Act. However, in 1978, the Prime Minister assigned to the Minister of the Environment responsibility for administration and enforcement of subsection 36(3) (formerly subsection 33(2)) of the Fisheries Act, which deals with the deposit of deleterious substances into water frequented by fish. Then, in 1985, in order to help ensure co-ordination, a Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and Environment Canada(EC) was signed, outlining the responsibilities of both departments for the administration and enforcement of the pollution prevention provisions of the Fisheries Act.
