    This requirement is for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Canadian Coast Guard

    Title: Collection, codification, validation and filing of statistical records

    Objective:

    The purpose of this Contract is to retain the services of a firm to collect, code, validate, and file forms for each of the three maritime areas covered by the Department: Gaspésie-Bas-St-Laurent (Gaspésie), the Magdalen Islands and the North-Shore.

    Background:

    The statistical system of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Quebec Region, has been set up in order to provide, as quickly as possible, the various stakeholders of the Department as well as the public, with information concerning catches and fishing efforts.

    First, the Department uses these data to monitor and control the various fishing quotas allocated based on the various fleets and fish species. Secondly, the “Person-Boat-Licence” queries quantify the number of fishing licence holders and the number of vessels involved in these fisheries. Finally, the statistical system involves processing and labour in marine product processing plants.

    Data collected in the statistical system come mainly from the various forms completed and provided by fish harvesters and various commercial fishery stakeholders.

    Scope of Work:
    Collection and preliminary processing of forms are the core of the entire information system the Department has set up to monitor its policies and regulations.

    The Contractor must therefore fully comply with instructions in these specifications, as well as corrections and adjustments from the Chief, SLD, and the Statistical Analyst in each area in the province of Quebec: Magdalen Islands, North Shore and Gaspésie.
