The proposed changes fail to adequately describe the demand for the changes or the environmental impact. If, in 1997, the policy was to eventually phase these training facilities out, why has the policy suddenly changed to increase them. What is the policy rationale? Until the government can adequately explain to Ontarians what the rationale for this policy of direction is, what the demand for trained hunting dogs is, and what the impacts to coyote population and wellbeing is, than I do not think the government should be able to vote to amend this legislation. On its face it seems needless and unnecessarily cruel and I fully oppose changes to allow issuing and transferring licenses for dog trial and train areas.
