Indeed.

Criminal law - that is, laws whose violators get criminal records and possibly jail time - is an exclusively federal jurisdiction. It consists of the Criminal Code, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, Youth Criminal Justice Act, and a few others.

Hunting and fishing law is an exclusively provincial jurisdiction. Ontario has its FWCA and other provinces have their equivalent.

So there's really no way to make conservation violations criminal without tweaking the constitution, or finding some creative legal work-around.

I mean, you could probably create some federal crimes that relate to resource abuse, in fact maybe someone can think of examples that already exist, but you couldn't make a crime out of violating Ontario's fishing regulations as a whole.
