Good morning.

Nowhere in the posted proposal is there any justification for the reversal of the policy to phase out the licensing of dog train and trial areas, apart from the statement: "Over time, the ministry has received requests for changes to allow dog train and trial areas to continue to persist, including allowing for licence transfers in response to aging licence holders, as well as new licences to be issued."
If there were originally good reasons for the decision to phase out these areas, what are the reasons for reversing that decision? It does not seem to be good public policy or administration to reverse the decision based only on the demand of certain interested parties.
I do not think that the stressing, injury and death of wildlife is justified in this case and I object in the strongest terms to the government sanctioning this.
I do not see any merit in this proposal and do not want it approved.
Presumably, one of the purposes of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act is to conserve wildlife and sanctioning the stressing, injury and death wildlife is not the way to conserve it or to treat it.
