DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT

MIGRATORY BIRDS CONVENTION ACT, 1994

Notice of intent

Notice is hereby given that the Minister of the Environment is considering amendments to the Migratory Birds Regulations (the Regulations), pursuant to section 12 of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994.

The purpose of these amendments to Schedule I of the Migratory Birds Regulations is to change hunting season dates, set daily bag limits and possession limits, as well as make other related modifications for certain species of migratory game birds for the 2018–19 and 2019–20 hunting seasons. The proposed regulatory amendments are in response to changes in the status of migratory game bird populations and will ensure the sustainable harvest of migratory game bird populations in Canada. These amendments also include administrative changes to the Migratory Birds Regulations.

In 2014, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) moved to a biennial regulatory amendment cycle for the hunting provisions of the Migratory Birds Regulations. However, ECCC continues to evaluate the status of migratory game bird populations on an annual basis to ensure that harvest rates remain sustainable and that urgent regulatory amendments can be made if necessary. The hunting provisions of the Migratory Birds Regulations are reviewed every second year by ECCC, with input from the provinces and territories and a range of other interested stakeholders.

ECCC produces three reports as part of its consultation process when the Regulations are reviewed. The first report, titled Population Status of Migratory Game Birds in Canada, contains population and other biological information on migratory game birds, thus providing the scientific basis for informing management decisions that ensure the long-term sustainability of their populations. The second report, titled Proposals to Amend the Canadian Migratory Birds Regulations, outlines the proposed changes to the hunting provisions of the Migratory Birds Regulations, as well as proposals to amend the special conservation measures for the management of overabundant species and other proposed amendments to the Regulations. These two reports are distributed to organizations and individuals with an interest in migratory game bird conservation and provide the opportunity for input regarding the proposed regulatory amendments. The third report, Migratory Birds Regulations in Canada, summarizes the hunting provisions for the upcoming two hunting seasons and is also provided to organizations and individuals with an interest in migratory game bird conservation.

Electronic copies of the above-mentioned documents may be viewed on the web page for the Consultation process on migratory game bird hunting regulations.

Interested parties who wish to comment on the proposed regulatory amendments as outlined in the report titled Proposals to Amend the Canadian Migratory Birds Regulations are invited to submit their comments by February 26, 2018.

Comments on the amendments to Schedule I of the Migratory Birds Regulations can be submitted to
