=== Blue Economy Regulatory Roadmap and What We Heard Report ===

On June 3, 2024, as part of the third round of Targeted Regulatory Reviews, Fisheries and Oceans Canada published the Blue Economy Regulatory Roadmap. This document outlines initiatives that the Government of Canada will undertake over the next several years to enhance the ability of communities and businesses that rely on the ocean economy to grow responsibly, resulting in benefits for all Canadians. The Blue Economy Regulatory Review examined regulations and regulatory practices that are bottlenecks to economic growth and innovation, while continuing to prioritize health, safety, security and environmental responsibilities in the blue economy. The Review’s engagement process, which informed the development of this Roadmap, is summarized in the What We Heard Report, published on May 2, 2024.
