Cross-Border Trade in Services and Investment
Canada retains the right to adopt or maintain any measure with respect to the issuance of licenses to foreign fishing vessels and with respect to access for foreign fishing vessels to Canada's ports, territorial waters or Exclusive Economic Zone.
Under the Coastal Fisheries Protection Act, Fisheries and Oceans Canada is responsible for controlling the activities of foreign fishing vessels in Canada's Exclusive Economic Zone, as well as access to Canadian ports (including port privileges).
Under the Coastal Fisheries Protection Act, foreign fishing vessels are prohibited from entering Canada's territorial waters or Exclusive Economic Zone except under authority of a license or under treaty. "Foreign" vessels are those which are not "Canadian" as defined in the Coastal Fisheries Protection Act. Under the Coastal Fisheries Protection Act, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans has discretionary authority with respect to the issuance of licenses to foreign fishing vessels.
Canada issues a port entry and port privileges license, including for the purchase of fuel and supplies, ship repair, crew exchanges and transhipment of fish catches, only to fishing vessels from a country with which it has favourable fisheries relations, based primarily on adherence by that country to international conservation practices and policies. Exceptions to this general rule are permitted in cases of emergency ("force majeure") and where the specific provisions of
bilateral fisheries treaties apply.
