正文(英文) | News releaseJune 25, 2021 – Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador Enforcement officers work across the country, from coast to coast to coast, enforcing the laws and regulations that protect and conserve wildlife and its habitat. This work aims to reduce threats and damage to biodiversity for the benefit of all Canadians. On June 24, 2021, Paul Lushman, Bud Durnford, and Brian Durnford, from Francois, Newfoundland and Labrador, were each sentenced to pay $5,000 after having pleaded guilty on May 10, 2021, to one charge each under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994, in the Stephenville Provincial Court, Newfoundland and Labrador. The three hunters were charged with possessing migratory birds without the necessary authorization. The total amount of the fines will be directed to the Government of Canada’s Environmental Damages Fund. In addition to the fines, the three are prohibited from applying for, using, or possessing a migratory game bird hunting permit for a period of one year. On December 10, 2020, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Fishery Officers conducted an inspection of a vessel near Francois, Newfoundland and Labrador. The officers observed three individuals onboard the boat in possession of a rifle, four shotguns, and a sack containing six Black Legged Kittiwakes. These are protected birds, not game birds, and therefore cannot be possessed or hunted except pursuant to an Aboriginal or treaty right or lawful authority. None of the individuals had any permits that would allow them to lawfully possess these birds. The matter was turned over to Environment and Climate Change Canada’s enforcement officers for investigation. The investigation by enforcement officers led to charges being laid against all three individuals for offences under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994. Environment and Climate Change Canada has created a free subscription service to help Canadians stay current with what the Government of Canada is doing to protect our natural environment.
