To Whom it May Concern,
The proposal to end non-resident landowner rights to hunt bear is completely unfair. I purchased the property with the intent to hunt bear on my property which I pay tax on to Ontario. Labeling this proposal to increase fairness is the exact opposite. I wouldn't pay an outfitter a fee to hunt bear on my own property I would put it up for sale first. There are plenty of non--resident non-landowners who utilize bear outfitters. The MNR made a serious miscalculation when they did away with the spring bear hunt years back and this would be a similar mistake. If your intent is to have Americans stay away from purchasing land in Canada this would be a great first step. You are cutting off your nose to spite your face.
