- Toward an integrated management of eastern New Brunswick's coastal zones : an overview of community watershed groups and their efforts toward the integrated management of their territory
- abstract: Canada's Ocean Strategy (2002), as presented in Canada's Oceans Act (1996), promotes integrated management for achieving the sustainable development of Canada's estuarine, coastal and marine ecosystems. In order to have a better understanding of the existing efforts aimed at this objective in the coastal zones of eastern New Brunswick, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Oceans and Habitat Division of the N.B. Eastern Area Office, in collaboration with the Gulf Regional Office, conducted a survey of the various community watershed groups in eastern N.B. in 2002-03. This report is the result of the survey. It presents an overview of these groups and their watershed and respective lands, and lists the numerous efforts undertaken toward the sustainable development of the watershed. It also includes a summary of the main issues of concern of each watershed group and gathers these issues and efforts according to ecozones or coastal management areas to serve as baseline information for the eventual implementation of integrated management programs as described in the Oceans Strategy.

- Trade agreements, the health-care sector and women's health
- abstract: This report explores the effects that Canada's trade agreements may have on the health of Canadian women. A content analysis of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the General Agreement on Trade in Services shows that Canada's trade obligations may have the power to bring its health care system into the private realm; in addition, future reforms of the public health care system may be more difficult.
