EXPLANATORY NOTES This Bill would amend the Fishery Products International Limited Act to permit FPI Limited or Fishery Products International Limited to sell marketing-related assets for the purpose of the creation of an income trust. The Bill would also repeal section 11.1 of the Act which created an immunity from legal liability for the Crown, a minister, employee or agent relating to the application to FPI Limited or Fishery Products International Limited of a provision of the Act. The immunity would continue to apply to a cause of action that arose prior to the repeal of the section.
