While I agree with the changes to the tagging/licencing system as the current system is flawed and unfair, I'm deeply concerned about the proposed changes to the moose quota system.

How is "extend(ing) the calf hunting season," and adopting changes to "create additional moose hunting opportunities," and making it so that "calf tags could be used at any time throughout the season" going to increase moose populations? Moose do not belong to hunters only, they belong to all Canadians. And they are not an economic resource and a source of revenue for the government. They have, or should have, the right to live in peace and be a source of wonder to future generations of Canadians. That is why I am asking that you:

- End the calf hunt completely
- Establish and protect moose refuge areas
- Commit more resources for enforcement, monitoring and research 
- Change the composition of BGMAC to be more representative of all Ontarians

Thank you for seeking and accepting comments from the public on this proposal.
