The council is a direct result of the Lobster Summit that was held in Nova Scotia in 2007 and the Lobster Round Tables held from 2008 onwards, which brought government and people from all areas of industry together at the table for the summit and the round table and now for the council. You had five Canadian provinces, the Government of Canada represented by a number of departments, buyers, harvesting groups, harvesters, processors from big and small companies all sitting at the round table.
La création du Conseil est un résultat direct du Sommet du homard, organisé en Nouvelle-Écosse en 2007, et des Tables rondes sur le homard, organisées depuis 2008, qui rassemblent des représentants du gouvernement et des intervenants de tous les secteurs de l'industrie.
