13. Fisheries Regulations for the Province of Ontario 



The Federal Government of Canada provides regulations under the Fisheries 

 Act of Canada relating to both game and commercial fishing activities in the Province 

 of Ontario. It then becomes the sole responsibility of the Ontario Department of 

 Lands and Forests to implement these regulations. 



X.B.: The recently established Fishery Inspection Regulations of the Federal 

 Government are implemented by federally appointed officers, which is 

 the only direct action of the Federal Government respecting fisheries 

 of Ontario at the present time. 



14. Migratory Birds Convention Act 



Regulations relating to the Migratory Birds Act for the Province of Ontario 

 are established by the Federal Government of Canada for the Province of Ontario by 

 arrangement between the two governments, and these regulations become the joint 

 responsibility of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests and the R.C.M.P. 

 with respect to enforcement. It is also recognized by all provinces that management 

 and research efforts should be co-ordinated both with each other and with those of 

 the U.S.A. 



15. Pelee Island Pheasant Investigation 



Pelee Island offers a perfect opportunity for studies of pheasant behaviour and 

 for the statistical study of a pheasant population throughout the year. In Ontario 

 pheasants are of concern in a small portion of the Province, but in the United States 

 they are now the principal upland game species. Hence the Wildlife Management 

 Institute. Washington. D.C.. carries the project. We supply accommodation and 

 other assistance and in return are supplied with information necessary for manage- 

 ment of the Pelee pheasant shoot. 



STAFF SUGGESTION PLAN 



The Staff Suggestion Plan operated by the Department has a three-fold purpose, 

 namely, to furnish an orderly method of submitting and considering ideas of the staff; 

 to recognize and reward the staff for practical and original suggestions; and to promote 

 the fullest co-operation of all personnel in the Department's operations. From the 

 standpoint of the administration the plan has the added advantage of revealing the 

 talents of employees whose suggestions are of a varied and unusually constructive 

 nature.
