EXCHANGE OF NOTES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA AND THE NORTH PACIFIC MARINE SCIENCE ORGANIZATION AMENDING THEIR AGREEMENT REGARDING THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE NORTH PACIFIC MARINE SCIENCE ORGANIZATION, DONE AT VICTORIA ON JANUARY 8, 1993

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada to the Executive Secretary of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization

May 21, 1997

Dr. William Douglas McKone
Executive Secretary
North Pacific Marine Science Organization
Institute of Ocean Sciences
Sidney, British Columbia

Dear Dr. McKone:

I have the honour to refer to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' concern regarding the lack of provision for employment in Canada for dependants of officials of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization.

To meet this concern, I have the honour to propose the addition of a third paragraph to Article 8 of the Headquarters Agreement, which would read as follows:

"3. Members of the family forming part of the household of officials of the Organization may be authorized to hold employment in Canada, subject to conditions established by the Government of Canada."

I have the further honour to propose that this Note, which is equally authentic in English and French, together with your reply, shall constitute an Agreement between the Government of Canada and the North Pacific Marine Science Organization, amending the Agreement of January 8, 1993, regarding the Headquarters of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization, which shall enter into force on the date of your reply.

Please accept, Dr. McKone, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Lloyd Axworthy
