Question Period
Hunting and fishing

Thank you again to the member for that great question. On the sustainability piece, we are designing a new bait fish management strategy to address invasive species and fish diseases while supporting this important industry. We are proactively updating the Chronic Wasting Disease Prevention and Response Plan to ensure we can act quickly if this disease that affects deer and moose populations is detected here in Ontario. Regarding the pandemic, we ask that all hunters form a plan well in advance on how to safely hunt and camp together, on the advice from local public health and the chief medical officer. Fishing and hunting remain open here in Ontario, with all rules and regulations in effect, and our fantastic front-line conservation officers will continue to patrol and manage our natural resources here. We will continue to support them and all the hunters and anglers here in Ontario.
