Media Advisory: Minister to Attend Meetings of Fisheries and Aquaculture Ministers
The Honourable Keith Hutchings, Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, will attend meetings of the Canadian Council of Fisheries and Aquaculture Ministers (CCFAM) and the Atlantic Council of Fisheries and Aquaculture Ministers (ACFAM) in Calgary, Alberta. The meetings will take place on Wednesday, June 25 and Thursday, June 26.
CCFAM was formed in September of 1999 to enhance collaboration between the Federal Government and Provincial Governments on issues related to fisheries and aquaculture. ACFAM has a similar goal, but is comprised exclusively of fisheries and aquaculture ministers from Newfoundland and Labrador, the Maritime Provinces, Quebec, Nunavut and the Federal Government.
