FN1219-Licensing Information - Pacific Region Licence Appeal Board - All Areas - Meeting


The next PRLAB meeting is scheduled for January 6th and 7th, 2015. Submissions 
for appeals must be received no later than Monday, December 8th, 2014.

The Pacific Region Licence Appeal Board (PRLAB) is an independent advisory body 
that hears individual appeals from fishers who are requesting an exemption from 
Licencing rules and policies. The Board makes recommendations directly to the 
Minister for a decision. The PRLAB will only hear appeal requests resulting 
from a licencing decision by the Resource Manager, Licencing within the past 
two years. 
 
The PRLAB does not make decisions on licence policy, and is strictly an 
advisory body to the Minister regarding exceptions to licence policy. However, 
the Board may provide advice to the Minister on policy which the Board feels 
should be amended. 
 
Should you wish to submit an appeal or would like any further information on 
the Board please contact Andria Charette, PRLAB Liaison Officer, Pacific Region 
Licence Appeal Board, Fisheries & Oceans Canada, 200 - 401 Burrard Street
