This is in regard to ERO 019-0022:
Point 1) Moving bait piles closer to roadways increases the probability of vehicular collisions with large animals (there are tens of thousands of such incidents, including those causing serious harm to the wildlife, the driver and passengers, vehicles; additionally, this can influence insurance rates and road maintained costs). (Source: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/tp-tp14798-1289.htm)
Point 2) As more recreationalists who are not hunters use wild spaces, regulations should be put in place to protect them – not increase the possibility or probability that they will be harmed by hunting and hunting-related activities such as baiting.
