I strongly urge you to eliminate the Spring Bear Hunt, and do not allow it to become permanent. It was a former Progressive Conservative government led by former Premier Mike Harris that banned a Spring Bear Hunt in Ontario - something to be proud off.
Shamefully, it was the Liberal government of then Premier Kathleen Wynne that pandered to the lobbying from special interest groups and instituted a Spring Bear Hunt pilot project. Please, don't follow in the footsteps of Kathleen Wynne's government. Hunting groups appear to be insatiable and never seem to have enough animals available to kill. It's not the job of government to favour a special interest group that represent a minority of the Ontario population.
Northern Ontario residents can develop eco-tourism businesses to replace guiding and outfitting.
