The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is seeking public comment on the draft policy.

This policy outlines a number of new proposals, including:

• Changes to the list of permitted baitfish species

• Limiting the movement and storage of commercial bait to newly defined ‘Bait Management Zones’ (BMZs) across the province

• Limiting personally harvested (angler) bait to the waterbody where it was collected in (i.e., no overland transport) for Southern Ontario and to the BMZ for Northern Ontario, with documentation required in the north to allow overland transport

• Restrictions on the possession and harvest of bait in native Brook Trout lakes

• Restricting bait use, harvest and storage in certain classes of provincial parks and in conservation reserves

• Suggested direction for improving and simplifying aspects related to commercial bait licenses (e.g., allocation, dormancy, compliance, species at risk)

• More effective training and reporting for commercial bait operations

A Policy Proposal Notice was posted on the Environmental Registry (EBR Registry Numbers: 012-9791) on February 27, 2017. The posting will be available for comment until June 27, 2017.
