MPP says cuts hurt MNR Written

From Bayshore Broadcasting Corporation
Burce Grey Owen Sound MPP Bill Murdoch says its
a first for him.
He
is actually agreeing with OPSEU that cutbacks
are hurting the Ministry of Natural Resources as
far as enforcement and protection of wildlife is
concerned.
Murdoch is responding to comments made by the
Minister of Natural Resources David Ramsay to
Bayshore Broadcasting News that there are no
problems as far as compliance and enforcement
are concerned.
The Bruce Grey Owen Sound MPP says that is just
not the case as there are no Conservation
Officers on the Bruce Peninsula and if people
see something happening there is no one to call.
He
says using the Service Ontario Counters to
distribute information about the MRN or handle
complaints just doesnt work.
Murdoch says the answer to the problem is hiring
more Conservation officers and reopening he
local MNR offices so people can phone there with
a concern and actually have a person talk to
them.
