The Ontario Government …

The Ontario Government (namely Toronto) is again using policies and mandates and the "maybe" climate change to inflict more restrictions on Northwestern Ontarians. The preferred and optional proposed regulations are discriminatory to the local sport fishing people.

I believe the harvesting practices also need to be addressed, regulated, monitored and enforced. More work needs to be done in consultation with First Nation communities on LOTW. Gaining the collaboration of the FN leadership to promote the understanding of the harm in overfishing within their communities is important.

Have the netting methods and sizes of net webbing been studied/addressed?

Instead of the reduction in the daily limits for sport and conservation limits, why not use size restrictions to sustain the older/larger walleye populations?

MY COMMENT: KEEP THE CURRENT FISHING REGULATIONS ON LOTW!
