OTTAWA — The federal Fisheries Department's failure to properly monitor the country's commercial fishing industry could lead to overfishing, a new audit from Canada's environment commissioner says.

Jerry DeMarco's report, released Tuesday, says Fisheries and Oceans Canada lacks the ability to collect timely and dependable data on what and how much is being caught.

Northern cod were once the backbone of Newfoundland and Labrador's 400-year-old fishing industry. But the population collapsed in the early 1990s because of overfishing, mismanagement and changing environmental conditions. "The collapse of the cod fishery had an impact that went far beyond environmental matters ... creating social and cultural instability on Canada’s east coast."

As well, the audit found that the department has been slow to modernize its information systems, even though it has spent about $31 million on integrating information across regions to provide access to catch data.
