This does not mean that these weapons will remain legal after 2015 or that any further opportunity for consultation on the proposed changes will occur.
It is quite frustrating that after minimal consultation at the AGMAG meetings the actual wording of proposed Wildlife Act changes was not made available to the public. With these kind of legal amendments, the devil is in the details. It sure would be nice if ESRD would make Wildlife Act and Wildlife Regulation changes public information before sending them to the legislative committee. Since we still don't know what changes the government has in store, I have asked for a copy of the wildlife act amendments draft and will pass on what I learn. |
Thank you for the update, you just made my day.
Looking forward to hearing what the draft has in store.
