During the Blue Economy Strategy engagement, many stakeholders cited regulatory issues as barriers to sustainable growth and innovation within the blue economy. This Review will respond directly to those comments and build off previous consultations, helping us to identify improvements that can be made to our existing regulatory frameworks, as well as informing the development of new frameworks for emerging ocean sectors. The goal of this Review is to ensure that new and existing frameworks support innovation and economic growth, while ensuring Canada’s robust standards for health, safety, security, and environmental protection are maintained. | During the Blue Economy Strategy engagement, many stakeholders cited regulatory issues as barriers to sustainable growth and innovation within the blue economy.
