I wish to take the opportunity given to comment on the double-crested cormorants and let it be known that myself and my family are totally opposed to the hunting.

Leave the cormorants alone! No good reason to terrify and slaughter these birds and their chicks. Please...let’s practice compassion and empathy. And keep the waterfront peaceful, and blood free.
This regulation should not be passed without scientific justification and modeling to ensure that this proposed hunting will not harm the populations and will achieve the desired goals. As well, aesthetics should not be a reason to allow hunting of this bird species.

I have several comments to make on this proposal:
Goal of Program - poorly defined - there should be objectives (quantifiable if possible) from which to measure success/failure of this initiative.

Yes please institute a hunting season for the Cormorant in our area at least (Lake Simcoe & Couchiching). These birds are destroying the fish stocks in both lakes and there numbers are huge.

The cormorant's population may be large, but that does not necessarily mean it is troublesome. Their appetite for other species considered "invasive", such as the goby, shows how they contribute positively to the environment.

How are they to be a game bird. Can you verify they are good to eat.? It's a pest. And a invasive species. Now you expect us to buy a licence to dispose of a pest.?
Is this proposal serious or a bad joke. How can a Double-crested Cormorant be considered a 'game'. Have you tried eating one/
The Cormorant as a top predator has a self regulating abiility.

I live in close proximity to Rondeau Bay. During the summer of 2014 I, along with the help of family and friends, circulated a petition directed at the noticeable increase in the numbers of cormorants in the Rondeau Bay and Erieau regions of Lake Erie.

The proposal to allow the shooting of Cormorants in Ontario looks like a good thing! I like all of the draft proposals and cannot think of anything else to add. These birds do a lot of harm to the sport and commercial fishing in Ontario!

The proposal of a hunting season for the double crested cormorant, a bird twice almost wiped out here, is ill considered and cruel. The length of season will kill a generation of chicks cruelly through starvation, cold and heat.

Thanks for the opportunity to comment on this proposal. It addresses a real concern over large populations of cormorants, which seem to have an insatiable appetite for bait fish, competing with sport fish and other diving ducks and loons, and defoliating entire islands.

The proposal to allow cormorant hunting as suggested - is simply wrong! Cormorants are no more a problem to fishing than gill netting. It is going back to the distant past when killing birds was a simple "sport".
