Canadian Heritage committee  I can't really speak to that one. We're an Ontario-based organization. Certainly we do have members here from the east coast and the west coast, through the B.C. Wildlife Federation, as part of the coalition. There are salmon federations on both coasts that receive significant fu

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes. I wish I had something in front of me that I could refer to. I don't. But you're quite right, and I know this is something you have raised in the past, and we appreciate it. Because whether it's the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Environment Canada, or non-governmental

Canadian Heritage committee  With respect to this particular bill, our board of directors has endorsed this. I have one of the larger boards of directors--some say too large--and there are actually 65 members on our board from across Ontario. It is also something that our membership has been kept apprised of

Canadian Heritage committee  There is an Environmental Bill of Rights posting right now to change the way the moose tag allocation system works in Ontario. You're quite right: it hasn't worked well. There are many areas, such as the areas around Algonquin Park and elsewhere, where the tags have been difficul

Canadian Heritage committee  The system is being revamped now, as we speak. As I said, there's an EBR posting there. We are working with the province to try to fix it, because it is broken.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you very much for the question, Mr. Angus. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is a non-profit, charitable, conservation-based organization. We rely on science in all of our policies. Whether it's invasive species, species at risk, or restoration of species, scie

Canadian Heritage committee  As I indicated earlier and as we suggested in our written statement, certainly I would support perhaps the fourth Saturday of the month, simply because that is when the U.S. recognizes their national hunting and fishing day. But maybe we need to be a bit different from the U.S.,

Canadian Heritage committee  I can't speak for the government, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Environment Canada, or whatever federal level would be responsible for such promotion. But as an outdoor network, and with those 28 groups, we would certainly approach the government, behind Mr. Norlock's b

Canadian Heritage committee  Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. Thank you very much. Mr. Chair and members of the committee, on behalf of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, our 100,000 members, subscribers, and supporters, and our 670 member clubs across Ontario, I thank you for the opportunity to appea

Public Safety committee  Yes. Thank you, Mr. Norlock. Recently we had--if you're talking about the polls themselves. Is that what you're asking me to reference?

Greg Farrant

Public Safety committee  Sure. In the CTV poll of Thursday, April 29, 2010--so roughly a month ago--CTV News asked a very simple question: do you support the long-gun registry? Five percent, or 1,413 people, said yes they do. Ninety-five percent, 26,172 people, said no they do not. Previous to that, on

Public Safety committee  Mr. Norlock, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is also the publisher of Ontario Out of Doors magazine as well as Angler & Hunter Television, and I think it's safe to say, and fair to say, that we repeat that mantra at every opportunity. Last year we produced ove

Greg Farrant

Public Safety committee  Without needing to insult me, sir, yes, I am aware of what spousal abuse is. It takes many forms, not only of physical violence but verbal abuse. Certainly there are many forms of that. This is just one of the recommendations we've made in here. One of the suggestions we've made—

May 26th, 2010Committee meeting

Greg Farrant

Public Safety committee  What, to say that it is a part of spousal violence? We're making a recommendation.... Sir, you've asked me the question. I'd like to try to answer your question.
