This legislation, the first of its kind in Canada, recognizes fish harvesting as a professional occupation. The PFHCB is mandated to register and certify commercial fish harvesters in Newfoundland and Labrador.  \nWhen the PFHCB became functional in 1997 the DFO registration system and its categories of fulltime/part-time fisherman was replaced with a new certification system, which included three levels of professional certification: Apprentice Fish Harvester, Professional Fish Harvester Level I, and Professional Fish Harvester Level II. The certification criteria include a combination of education requirements and experience/dependence on the commercial fishery. Existing fish harvesters were \"grandfathered\" into the new certification system, with those harvesters having at least 7 years of fishing experience receiving the highest certification level (Level II) . New entrants to the commercial fishery enter as Apprentices and are eligible to upgrade to Level I and Level II upon completion of a minimum number of education credits and full-time fishing years.  \nThe PFHCB currently registers and certifies some 9,300 Newfoundland and Labrador fish harvesters, and reports annually to the Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, the minister responsible for the Professional Fish Harvesters Act. The Board has a legislated mandate to provide an advisory role to provincial and federal governments in the formation of fisheries policies consistent with the common good of fish harvesters, including safety. Representatives of the PFHCB have been involved in regional and national CMAC since the Board’s inception, and the PFHCB has been a leader in promoting fishing vessel safety in Newfoundland and Labrador.  \nSince 2002, the PFHCB has been a Transport Canada authorized provider of Marine Emergency Duties (MED A3), and has delivered this training to more than 8,000 commercial fish harvesters in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Board has also been active in monitoring the development and implementation of Transport Canada regulations, and has been working closely with the Marine Institute, Fish Food and Allied Workers Union, Fish Harvesting Safety Association and Transport Canada to ensure that Newfoundland and Labrador commercial fish harvesters achieve and maintain compliance.  \nAbout the presenter:  \nMark Dolomount is the Executive Director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Professional Fish Harvesters Certification Board. A native of Corner Brook, NL, and a graduate of Memorial University, Mr. Dolomount has been involved in the harvesting sector of the commercial fishery since 1994, when he began his career with the Fish Food and Allied Workers Union (FFAW) as a safety researcher. For the past two decades he has coordinated and managed major fisheriesrelated programs and projects, both provincially and nationally. He currently sits on numerous fishing industry Boards and Committees, and recently finished a nine year tenure as industry cochair of Transport Canada’s National Canadian Marine Advisory Council (CMAC) Standing Committee on Fishing Vessel Safety.  \nSenators, Committee Chair:  \nMy name is Mark Dolomount, Executive Director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Professional Fish Harvesters Certification Board (PFHCB) . The PFHCB is a provincially legislated Board that currently registers and certifies more than 9,000 commercial fish harvesters in this province, both owner/operators and crew members.
