Fisheries Peches 1*1 and Oceans et Oceans CanadiS s minister of Fisheries and Oceans, lam particularly proud of the diversity found in this Department. The range of activities that DFO personnel are engaged in is broad, from oceanographic research and enforcement of fisheries regulations, to Aharbour management and hydrographic surveying. Our geographic locations are as diverse as our activities, from "sea to sea" in Canada and at the international level. The working environments of Fisheries and Oceans employees vary dramatically, from offices to field labs and patrol vessels. But despite DFO's diversity and complexity that are described in this Factbook, three corporate themes link the work of our employees nationwide: "Scientific Excellence, Resource Protection and Conservation, and Benefits to Canadians".

Providing for the conservation, development and sustained economic utilization of our nation's fisheries resources in Canadian waters and beyond, rests with DFO. Also entailed in DFO's mission is the coordination of the Government of Canada's policies and programs respecting oceans. While other federal departments contribute Our Mandate to the management of Canada's water-based activities, Fisheries and Oceans is the only one whose primary focus is water and aquatic resources. The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans' duties, powers, and functions include: (a) all matters over which the Parliament of Canada has jurisdiction, not by law assigned to any other department, board or agency of the Government of Canada, relating to: • sea coast and inland fisheries; • fishing and recreational harbours; • hydrography and marine sciences; and • policy and program coordination of the Government of Canada respecting oceans; as well as (b) other matters over which the Parliament of Canada has jurisdiction relating to oceans which are by law assigned to the Minister. In carrying out Fisheries and Oceans' Our Work and mandate, DFO personnel are engaged in Responsibilities diverse and challenging tasks and activities, working from coast to coast, including the Arctic, in various capacities. • The development and management of Canada's coastal and inland fisheries resources are founded on scientific research. Departmental scientists are heavily engaged in important studies, such as those of fish habitat, directed at conserving valuable living resources and enhancing their productivity. Allocation of these resources among Canadian and foreign fishing fleets primarily depends on "stock assessment," involving • 8 • measurement of fish population, size and composition, and reproductive capacity. • For DFO, with support from its scientific team, conserving the fisheries resource and ensuring that Canadians receive maximum economic and social benefit from them, requires effective surveillance of domestic and foreign fishing activities within Canada's 200-mile fishing limit. Preventing over- exploitation and depletion of fish stocks is a high-priority responsibility, one which involves constant surveillance from land, sea and air and readiness to enforce rules when necessary. Not only are surveillance and enforcement important to the offshore and coastal fishery, but to the inland fishery as well, where fishery officers must watch for threats to habitat, violations of net or area, and survey the salmon streams and spawning grounds. • Quality and safety of domestic and imported fish and seafood products are the concerns of DFO fish inspectors who, whether in the lab or in the field, work to ensure that stringent national standards are met. They examine all aspects of Canada's fishery, including vessels, landings, facilities for unloading, handling and transportation, processing plants and finished products. • DFO employees involved in our scientific activities are ultimately engaged in devel- Surveillance aboard oping and communicating a better under- DFO patrol vessel standing of Canada's marine and freshwater • 9 • environments. The scope of fisheries and aquatic scientific research covers a number of areas, from physical oceanography and limnology (studies in freshwater) to hydrographic surveying and charting. DFO science activities address pressing environmental issues of consequence to Canada's aquatic resources, including acid rain and the behaviour and effects of marine contaminants. • There is also an important international dimension to the DFO Science area, in- volving departmental interaction with other countries on matters of mutual scientific concern pertaining to such fields as oceanography. These are but samplings of DFO work. Departmental responsibilities span many other areas, including the administration of com- mercial fishing and recreational small craft harbours, fisheries economic development and marketing and initiatives in support of inter- national fisheries negotiations. Facts related to these and other DFO components are present throughout the Factbook. For more detailed information, employees should consult DFO's Priorities Handbook, Annual Report and Part III of the Main Estimates.

    A THREAT to LEADERSHIP: C.A.Dunning and Mackenzie King

    S. Peter Regenstreif A THREAT TO LEADERSHIP: C.A.Dunning and Mackenzie King BY Now mE STORY of the Progressive revolt and its impact on the Canadian national party system during the 1920's is well documented and known. Various studies, from the pioneering effort of W. L. Morton1 over a decade ago to the second volume of the Mackenzie King official biography2 which has recently appeared, have dealt intensively with the social and economic bases of the movement, the attitudes of its leaders to the institutions and practices of national politics, and the behaviour of its representatives once they arrived in Ottawa. Particularly in biographical analyses, 3 a great deal of attention has also been given to the response of the established leaders and parties to this disrupting influence. It is clearly accepted that the roots of the subsequent multi-party situation in Canada can be traced directly to a specific strain of thought and action underlying the Progressivism of that era. At another level, however, the abatement of the Pro~ gressive tide and the manner of its dispersal by the end of the twenties form the basis for an important piece of Canadian political lore: it is the conventional wisdom that, in his masterful handling of the Progressives, Mackenzie King knew exactly where he was going and that, at all times, matters were under his complete control, much as if the other actors in the play were mere marionettes with King the manipu­ lator. His official biographers have demonstrated just how illusory this conception is and there is little to be added to their efforts on this score.

    JOURNAL OF NEW BRUNSWICK STUDIES Issue 2 (2011) “Everybody Called Her Frank”1: The Odyssey of an Early Woman Lawyer in New Brunswick Barry Cahill Abstract In February 1934 Frances Fish was called to the bar of New Brunswick and spent the next forty years practising law in her home town of Newcastle (now City of Miramichi) NB. In 1918 she had been both the first woman to graduate LLB from Dalhousie University and the first woman to be called to the bar of Nova Scotia. Though she initially intended to remain in Halifax, she instead left Nova Scotia almost immediately, abandoning the practice of law altogether. She spent the next fifteen years working as a paralegal in Ottawa and Montreal before returning to New Brunswick and resuming the practice of law. This article is a study of Fish’s career in New Brunswick, framed within the experience of the first women lawyers in Canada, of whom she was the seventh.2 Résumé En février 1934, Frances Fish a été reçue au Barreau du Nouveau-Brunswick. Pendant les quarante années qui ont suivi, elle a pratiqué le droit dans sa ville natale, Newcastle (qui fait maintenant partie de la ville de Miramichi), au Nouveau-Brunswick. En 1918, elle a été la première femme à obtenir un baccalauréat en droit de la Dalhousie University et la première femme reçue au Barreau de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Bien qu’elle avait, au début, l'intention de rester à Halifax, elle a quitté la Nouvelle- Écosse presque immédiatement après ses études, abandonnant complètement la pratique du droit.

    THE POLICY OF NEGLECT: THE CANADIAN MILITIA IN THE INTERWAR YEARS, 1919-39 ___________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Britton Wade MacDonald January, 2009 iii © Copyright 2008 by Britton W. MacDonald iv ABSTRACT The Policy of Neglect: The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-1939 Britton W. MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia’s members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non- Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War.

THE INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL LEADERS ON THE PROVINCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBERAL PARTY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA By Henrik J. von Winthus ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development of Liberalism In British Columbia from the aspect of leader influence. It intends to verify the hypothesis that in the formative period of provincial politics in British Columbia (1871-1941) the average voter was more leader- oriented than party-oriented. The method of inquiry is predominantly historical. In chronological sequence the body of the thesis describes British Columbia's political history from 1871, when the province entered Canadian confederation, to the resignation of premier Thomas Dufferin Pattullo, in 1941. The incision was made at this point, because the following eleven year coalition period would not yield data relevant to the hypothesis. Implicitly, the performance of political leaders has also been evaluated in the light of Aristotelian expectations of the 'zoon politikon'.

As such, besides examining the lives of prime ministers and other elites, we will also analyse, for example, what things were like for ordinary people; besides focussing upon the French-English divide, we will also look at issues revolving around gender roles and Canada’s First Peoples; and besides noting cultural expressions such as "high art," we will also touch upon things such as various forms of popular entertainment. The general story will come from the lectures. However, your outline will refer to chapters from the Francis, Smith and Jones texts, Journeys. You should read these, especially if parts of the lecture remain unclear. The textbook will provide background; it will not replicate the lectures. Required readings will consist of a series of primary source documents. The lectures will refer to many of those documents, suggesting how they might be understood in relation to the general flow of events. Thus, on the mid-term test and final examination, you should be able to utilize the required readings and the lecture material in responding to questions.
