Comment

Continuing with the commentary that the CCFMS concerns are included in this ERO 019-6692 submission.

Please note that Central Canadian Federation of Mineralogical Societies (CCFMS) is identified below.
The CCFMS is a public entity in Ontario; therefore, does NOT expect "personal" privacy.
The CCFMS is not ashamed to publicly acknowledge our commentary as well as our involvement.

This is comment TEN of 11 comments that the CCFMS feels are critical to the Ontario Hobby Mineral Collecting Guide:

Page 6 – Contact
• The fourth paragraph of the Offences and penalties section states “It is the hobby mineral collector’s responsibility to confirm their legal obligations.’ The “Contact” section that follows provides only a very general direction to contact Mining Lands Section.

• This direction may result in the ministry receiving many annoying calls from people who don’t know what is available to them, or what to ask for.

• The CCFMS recommends that an updated version of the informative “Where to Find Information” section that was included in the 2014 draft Mineral Collecting Policy be added to the Hobby Mineral Collecting Guide to assist collectors, and to minimize the number of public inquiries that the ministry will have to handle.
