Peace officer 21(1) A fishery officer or fishery guardian, while administering this Act, is a person employed for the preservation and maintenance of the public peace.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1),
a fishery guardian shall not exercise the powers of arrest given to a peace officer by section 495 of the Criminal Code (Canada).
It doesnt look like they can arrest if they find something else illegal ie drugs, but i would expect them to call the police.
