    Yes, hunting from a canoe should be a Canadian right.
    No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

    The not being able to shoot from a boat is one thing.

    Also the section on Shooting Ranges has severe implications for rural ranges where they do NOT have the resources to restrict access and check everyone's ID before use. Many of them are basically open, have drop boxes for fees and it is based on the honor system. This bill is aimed at urban ranges where we do control access ALREADY, underlining things we already do under the Federal range regulations and also in practice. But rural ranges have little option and one would question whether they are at risk at all from gang activity.

    EDIT: removed the bit about body armor. Evidently PAL holders still are exempt
    I have emailed Mike Farnworth and cc'd my local (NDP) MLA as well as contacted the BCWF separately for their thoughts.

    Minister Farnworth's email is PSSG.Minister@gov.bc.ca

    WRONG.
    You might want to read Bill 4-2021 paragraph 101 as well as the BC Wildlife Act paragraph 108(3) to put it in context.

    That is a good spot. I think there is some comfort to be taken from that amendment and the language suggests to me that they have considered the potential that one may shoot out a boat as a legitimate hunting method.

    If I hear back from the minister clarifying this I will share the response.

    Re: New BC law

    I would prefer it be outlined specifically to call out hunting as an exception rather than have the public and possibly law enforcement have to parse the exception the way it is written.
