: Britain or other part of Europe, as t
the sportsman from the United States
The crown lands commissioners, who
are the heads of the game protection
service, as we'll as the chief game war
dens of the provinces of New Bruins
wick, Quebec and Ontario, are in ia
vor of this change.
: The provinces of New Brunswick
Quebec and Ontario permit the expor
of big game to other parts of Canada
1t is not sought to permit Canadian
to export game, for fear that pot
hunters might commence to ply thei
nefarious trade, nor is it necessary, al
3 generally most of the Canadian
!, friends to whom he wishes to exhibi
his trophy or to whom he wishes t
8 give portions of the carcass, reside il
Canada.
The provinces desire the foreign
sportsmen to hunt their big game, anC
: it is felt to be absurd, as well as use
e less, to prohibit them from taking GU
the carcasses. When the present ex
port law was placed in effect the prov
: inces did not pay the same attention t.
: game protection or to limitation in thu
number which may be killed as at pres
r ent, and, moreover, residents were per
U mitted to export.
