At the request of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the PFRCC commissioned a report seeking advice from representatives
of Environmental Non-Government Organizations (ENGOs) stakeholders andFirst Nations on a recommended framework for undertaking an independentevaluation of Wild Salmon Policy (WSP) implementation. The independantevaluation is mandated under Action Step 6.2 of the WSP and is to occurwithin five years of WSP's adoption (i.e., 2010). This report gives thereview process a head start by seeking advice from representatives ofstakeholders and First Nations on review components. The results ofinterviews with 19 participants are analysed in terms of themes the WSPreview should cover as well as process considerations. Based on theanalysis, ten steps to building a practical, detailed review frameworkare recommended, with references to the relevant sections of the report.
