Order Amending the Fishing Zones of Canada (Zone 6) Order

P.C. 2009-125 January 29, 2009

Whereas the dividing line on the continental shelf between Canada and Greenland is defined in the Agreement between the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Government of Canada relating to the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf between Greenland and Canada (the “Agreement”), signed in Ottawa on December 17, 1973;

Whereas the Agreement provides for the adjustment of the dividing line when the parties to the Agreement are able to reconcile their respective geodetic datums used to estimate the dividing line in the Agreement;

Whereas the Government of Canada and the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark have agreed to adjust part of the dividing line in Davis Strait, Baffin Bay and Nares Strait by amending the Agreement to list the relevant coordinates according to the World Geodetic System 1984, also called North American Datum 1983;

And whereas the adjustment to the dividing line under the Agreement necessitates an adjustment to the fishing zone prescribed in respect of the waters in the Fishing Zones of Canada (Zone 6) Order;

Therefore, Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, pursuant to paragraph 25(b) of the Oceans Act (see footnote a), hereby makes the annexed Order Amending the Fishing Zones of Canada (Zone 6) Order.
