"... the ministry recognizes the need to take action to respond to the decline in bear numbers to support sustainability of this genetically isolated population."

The ministry is not doing nearly enough. Research from the mid-2000's is not accurate to today and when dealing with a species "in decline" far more aggressive methods are needed. You know you have a genetically isolated population and are suggesting that people still be allowed to kill them? For the sake of tourism that may benefit a few people now but potentially damage a population beyond repair for all future generations? I find this proposal incredibly disappointing.
