History
The national Commission to Inquire into the Problems of Marketing Salted and Cured Fish Produced in the Atlantic Provinces, also referred to as the Atlantic Salt Fish Commission, was created by Privy Council Order-in-Council (PC#1964-1672) dated October 29, 1964. Dr. D.B. Finn, former Deputy Minister of Fisheries for Canada, was appointed sole Commissioner. His mandate was to inquire into and report upon the export marketing problems of the salt fish industry in the Atlantic Provinces and Quebec, and the advisability of establishing a marketing board to control exports of cured fish. Commissioner Finn made a detailed study of existing reports, especially the Newfoundland Salt Fish Marketing Report 1963. He held public hearings in St. John’s NF, Halifax NS, Fredericton NB, and Quebec PQ from February 1 to 15, 1965. He submitted his final report to the Governor General of Canada in 1965 and the Commission disbanded.
