Conservative MPPs Jeff Yurek and Toby Barrett are looking for more accountability regarding the management of the Special Purpose Account (SPA) from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MRNF).
Earlier this year the ministry increased fishing and hunting fees and has proposed to start charging seniors for fishing licences.
Barrett, MPP for Haldimand-Norfolk, has heard concerns from local hunters and anglers about how that money is being used and points out that Ontario’s Environmental Commissioner has also raised red flags about the MNRF management efforts.
