ONLY Ontario residents [with proof of real residency, e.g. OHIP card] should be eligible for any and all hunting and fishing licenses. The definition of "Ontario resident" should, for these purposes, be expanded to include any First Nations, Metis or Inuit person.
I object to the commercialization and licensed-tourism to harvest our natural wild game and fish.
These harvests must only be done by Ontario residents and consumed for local use.
This would encourage more local participation and consumption of resources while controlling the animal and fish stocks.
Eco-tourism should be a government priority, focused more on visiting and viewing animals in the wild, rather than killing them. That would be of more benefit in the long term to the economy and generate more income rather than from selling licenses.
