HOUSE OF COMMONS

CANADA

SMALL CRAFT HARBOURS:

AN ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGED BY

AND FOR FISHING COMMUNITIES

Report of the Standing Committee on

Fisheries and Oceans

Rodney Weston, MP

Chair

DECEMBER 2009

40th PARLIAMENT, 2nd SESSION

Small Craft Harbours - Standing Committee Report

of 12

LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDATION 1

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada update its estimate of the cost of

bringing the core harbours to an acceptable state of repair.

RECOMMENDATION 2

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada prepare a plan to bring the core

harbours to an acceptable state of repair.

RECOMMENDATION 3

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada incorporate a requirement for

maintaining safe facilities when preparing its plan to bring the core

harbours to an acceptable state of repair.

RECOMMENDATION 4

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada ensure that there are adequate

funds in both its operations and maintenance, and its capital budgets

for recurrent dredging and related activities. The amount of this

funding should take into consideration the increasingly stringent

environmental standards and regulations that apply to these activities,

especially with respect to the protection of the fish habitat.

RECOMMENDATION 5

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada adopt a longer-term approach to

solving dredging problems that could be addressed by permanent

structures such as breakwaters.

RECOMMENDATION 6

That, where there is a need to dredge beyond the harbour basin and

the entrance channel for which the Small Craft Harbours Program is

responsible, Fisheries and Oceans Canada coordinate with the

authorities responsible for dredging these waterways to ensure safe

access to the harbour at all times.

RECOMMENDATION 7

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada help Harbour Authorities to

recognize and respond to the local effects of climate change.

RECOMMENDATION 8

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada analyze harbours scheduled for

divestiture or decommissioning, with a view to identifying those that

could remain in the department's inventory and be maintained because

of their value as safe havens in case of bad weather conditions.

37


of 12

RECOMMENDATION 9

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada assist Harbour Authorities with the

development of short-term and long-term business plans as well as

capitalization plans.

RECOMMENDATION 10

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada assist Harbour Authorities in their

efforts to raise funds from other sources, including federal, provincial,

and private sources.

RECOMMENDATION 11

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada assist and encourage Harbour

Authorities to establish partnerships with local organizations where

possible.

RECOMMENDATION 12

That the limit on contract signing authority for Harbour Authorities

managers be increased from $40,000 to $200,000 for minor capital and

repair projects, and that, where possible, priority be given to hiring

local enterprises to do the approved work.

RECOMMENDATION 13

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada streamline the review and approval

process of Small Craft Harbours projects to ensure that projects be

approved, announced, and tendered by June 1st, where possible, and

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada provide clear and transparent

accounting of funds related to project costs and administrative costs

associated with the department or Public Works and Government

Services Canada.

RECOMMENDATION 14

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada review and modernize the Fishing

and Recreational Harbours Act and its regulations to reflect the current

management reality of small craft harbours. In particular, definitions of

"Harbour Authority," "derelict," and "harbour manager" should be

included or updated.

RECOMMENDATION 15

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada consider legislative changes to

facilitate the removal of abandoned and derelict vessels from its

harbours.

38


of 12

RECOMMENDATION 16

That the Government of Canada honour in a timely manner its financial

commitments to undertake environmental remediation projects needed

prior to harbour divestiture.

RECOMMENDATION 17

That the Government of Canada recognize the heritage and cultural

attributes of fishing harbours as well as their tourism and economic

value, and

That the Government of Canada allow Harbour Authorities to be

eligible to receive financial support from federal economic

development agencies for projects intended to take advantage of those

attributes.

RECOMMENDATION 18

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada review the mandate of the Small

Craft Harbours Program to acknowledge that, while it primarily

provides harbours that are open, safe and in good repair for the

commercial fishing industry, harbours are used and managed for other

purposes, including those of recreational and Aboriginal fisheries,

commercial sport fishing and emerging sectors such as aquaculture.

RECOMMENDATION 19

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada facilitate access to federal

non-DFO wharves through interdepartmental agreements when local

harbour users identify a need that cannot be otherwise accommodated

by the neighbouring Small Craft Harbours infrastructure.

RECOMMENDATION 20

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada work with Indian and Northern

Affairs Canada to improve their coordination in establishing and

maintaining harbour facilities in Aboriginal communities.

RECOMMENDATION 21

That Fisheries and Oceans Canada confirm its objective to construct

all the harbours identified for small communities in Nunavut.

RECOMMENDATION 22

That the Department review the assessment of harbour needs for

communities such as Arctic Bay, Grise Fjord and Resolute.
