I am concerned at the proposal to have a hunting season for double-crested cormorants from Mar.1 to December. As a cottager on Big Rideau Lake, a popular lake for summer visitors, I am concerned at the safety implications for the thousands of people who boat, paddle and swim in the lake. Our lake has a population of the targeted birds, but in recent years it has been stable, not increasing. A hunt would put vacationers and lakeside residents at unnecessary risk.
