REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issues

The Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations (SJCSR) has identified a number of technical issues with the Ontario Fishery Regulations, 2007 and has recommended that these Regulations be amended to address these issues. In addition, through experience in application of the Regulations to date, minor errors were detected, or certain provisions have become outdated, which also require amendment. There are also minor technical amendments to the Ontario Fishery Regulations, 1989.

The regulatory amendments will ensure that the regulations are accurate, and operate as intended.

Objectives

The amendments have the following objectives:

• to correct typographical or grammatical errors;
• to correct discrepancies between the French and English versions;
• to improve consistency in terminology;
• to update terminology;
• to add clarity to a regulatory provision; and
• other miscellaneous changes: to update the name of a provincial ministry; to resolve discrepancies in names and coordinates, etc.

Description

The amendments made are minor and administrative in nature.

Both the English and French have been amended to refer to Parts 2 and 4 of Schedule 1, as well, given that these parts also contain common names.
• Subsection 6(1) (English and French): This section has been amended from “No person shall possess, transport or release members of an invasive species without a licence issued under subsection (2)” / “Il est interdit à quiconque d’avoir en sa possession, de transporter ou de remettre à l’eau un organisme faisant partie d’une espèce envahissante sans être titulaire d’un permis délivré en vertu du paragraphe (2)” to “No person shall possess, transport or release members of an invasive species except in accordance with the Aquatic Invasive Species Regulations or as authorized under a licence issued under subsection (2)” / “Il est interdit d’avoir en sa possession, de transporter ou de remettre à l’eau un organisme faisant partie d’une espèce envahissante, sauf en conformité avec le Règlement sur les espèces aquatiques envahissantes ou à moins d’y être autorisé par un permis délivré en vertu du paragraphe (2).” This corrects an inadvertent expansion of prohibitions that occurred as a result of consequential changes made to the Ontario Fishery Regulations, 2007 by the Aquatic Invasive Species Regulations. For example, the consequential changes resulted in prohibiting the possession of round goby in any form (i.e. living or non-living), even though round goby can be possessed under the Aquatic Invasive Species Regulations, if dead.
• Subsection 25(2) (English and French): An amendment has been made for consistency in references to Lake Nipigon. Subsection 25(2) previously stated “For the purposes of subsection (1), paragraph 31(3)(c) and sections 38 and 42, Lake Nipigon and its tributaries include the waters described in item 3, column 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 4.” Subsection 25(2) has been modified to include paragraph 29(2)(d) as well, which also refers to Lake Nipigon.

• Schedule 3, Part 1, subitems 1(12) and 12(6) (English and French): These items set out a number of fish without any restriction on the size of the fish. Elsewhere in the Regulations where there are no restrictions on size, the number of fish is specified followed by “any size” / “de toute taille.” The terms “any size” / “de toute taille” have been added here for clarity and for consistency with other parts of the Regulations.
• Schedule 3, Part 3, item 2; Schedule 4, Part 3, subitem 1(1), column 2; and Schedule 5, Part 2, item 1 (English and French): Corrections have been made to the spelling of “Atikaminike Bay” / “baie Atikaminike” and to its coordinates (49°14′ N, 94°04′ W); to the coordinates for Willow Bay (49°25′ N, 94°04′ W); and to the coordinates for Sammons Bay (49°23′45″ N, 93°59′28″ W).

• Schedule 6, Part 1, item 2, column 3 (French); Schedule 6, Part 1, item 3, column 3 (English); Schedule 6, Part 1, item 4, column 3 (English); Schedule 6, Part 1, item 5, column 3 (English); Schedule 6, Part 1, item 6, column 3 (English): The phrases “the waters in” / “the waters set out in” / “les eaux du” have been removed due to redundancy, as the column title is “Waters”/“Eaux.”
• Schedule 6, Part 1, item 3 (English and French): Previously, this item excluded the waters of Zone 16 and Lake Simcoe in Zone 16, which was redundant. The reference to Lake Simcoe has been removed.
• Schedule 6, Part 1, item 7, column 2 (English and French): The gear “Dip net, baitfish trap and by hand” / “Épuisette, piège à poisson-appât et à la main” has been replaced by “Baitfish trap and dip net” / “Épuisette et piège à poisson-appât.” The gear “by hand” / “à la main” has been removed because section 14 does not identify “by hand” / “à la main” as a non-angling method that can be used.
• Paragraphs 2(2)(c) and 13(2)(f); and subsection 3(2) (English and French): The name “Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources” / “ministère des Richesses naturelles de l’Ontario” has been amended to “Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry” / “ministère des Richesses naturelles et des Forêts de l’Ontario” to reflect its current name.

• Schedule 5, subitem 1(4) (English and French): The phrase “to the place of beginning” / “jusqu’au point de départ” was added at the end of the description in column 1.
• Schedule 5, subitem 1(5) (English and French): The distance “1 250 m” has been changed to “1.25 km.”
• Schedule 5, subitem 1(5) (English and French): Four sets of latitude and longitude coordinates were added to the description in column 1 in order to clarify geographic references. To further specify geography, several site references were added (e.g. Stonemill Road, Rosehill Road).

5. The following amendments make other miscellaneous changes:

• Schedule 5, subitem 1(1) (English and French): The name “Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources” / “ministère des Richesses naturelles de l’Ontario” has been amended to “Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry” / “ministère des Richesses naturelles et des Forêts de l’Ontario” to reflect its current name (two instances).
• Schedule 5, subitems 1(2), 1(4) and 1(5) (English and French): The references to marine buoys have been replaced with a description and UTM coordinates. The existing boundary remains as is, but using the UTM coordinates will ensure that the boundaries are known in the event that a buoy is lost or cannot be placed in the water.

“One-for-One” Rule ^{footnote 3}

The “One-for-One” Rule does not apply to these amendments, as there is no change in administrative costs or burden to business.

Small business lens ^{footnote 4}

The small business lens does not apply to these amendments, as there are no costs to small business.

Consultation

Fisheries and Oceans Canada worked closely with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in the development of these amendments. No additional consultations were undertaken, as the amendments are minor and technical in nature and serve to correct errors and increase clarity.

Rationale

The amendments are in response to the SJCSR’s review of the Regulations and minor technical amendments identified by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. The amendments help to correct and improve the Regulations, and do not impose any costs on the government or stakeholders.
