The CCFMS is not ashamed to publicly acknowledge our commentary as well as our involvement.

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

Page 7 – Terms and definitions
• There are a number of definitions in this section, most of which have been copied directly from the Mining Act.

• The CCFMS recommends that – for clarity – the references to “subsection 38 (2)” and “section 38.2 or 38.3” be modified to read “subsection 38 (2) under the Mining Act” and “section 38.2 or 38.3 of the Mining Act” to differentiate them from the later references to the Aggregate Resources and Mining Modernization Act, 2017.

• The CCFMS also recommends that definitions of patented and unpatented land be added to this section for clarity.

• These were included in the 2014 draft of the Hobby Mineral Collecting Policy reviewed by the CCFMS.
