There are many non-resident…

There are many non-resident bear hunters who have bought property here to hunt. It was allowed in the regulations, so they went ahead and invested money into land. They pay property tax the same as you and I. They come up here, buy gas, buy booze, go to restaurants, buy fishing licenses, etc. etc.... They played by the rules that Ontario layed out. Now, the gov't in their infinite wisdom is looking at changing the rules.
It doesn't affect me personally, but I do have a couple of buddies from Ohio who come up each year. They each bought property, but they stay at a local cabin resort during their visit. Their wives generally come along, as well as a few friends. All buy fishing license's. They pay for the cabin(s) rental. Gas, food, they pay property tax, etc. The land they hunt is all private, no Crown.
I don't think the gov't is thinking to clearly on this proposal to try and placate a few outfitters who have a BMA in the area.
