Would you guys be agreeable to paying a special tax, similar to the USA, on firearms, ammunition, reloading supplies, fishing gear, etc IF the revenue went into its own account and was dedicated for spending on provincial fish and wildlife management? Additionally, let’s assume all revenue from hunting, angling and trapping licenses went into this account.

Probably not, only reason being I absolutely no faith that the funds would be used accordingly.

The whole idea of the tax is that it does go directly back into Wildlife Management. That's what they do in the statesOriginally Posted by dakoda62

Have to be something written into the legislation that 100% of the money is for conservation otherwise I wouldn't be on board.

This is the important factor
Without setting things up so funds cannot be used for anything but wildlife it is not worth paying tax for it

Keep in mind the USA has been doing this since 1937 with great success

No need for new taxes, just do the right thing with the taxes we already pay.

I agree we are already overtaxed. However, it’s very easy for the province to cut wildlife funding with the current model. A dedicated account would be independent of provincial budgets, and provide reliable funding for wildlife management. This has been the model in the USA.

So only people who hunt, fish and trap should be paying an "extra" tax to fund proper wildlife management?
Are we the only ones who will benefit?
