So far as I understand it, the Federal government passed omnibus legislation to change the fisheries act last year. These changes have made it impossible for the provincial government to enforce the use of barbless hooks. The 'All pipelines in all directions' Bill, or something like that. I guess barbed hooks do not affect fish of cultural or economic value.
