Resolution

WHEREAS The Saskatchewan Wildlife Advisory Committee, which oversees tag allocation and other regulations, consists of members appointed by the Minister of Environment under The Wildlife Act, 1988; and

WHEREAS The current membership does not have adequate agricultural producer representation as there currently is no representation from the crop sector and the Committee is unduly balanced towards hunting interest groups; and

WHEREAS It is desirable to maintain healthy wildlife populations that do not impede expanding and profitable agricultural production;

BE IT RESOLVED That APAS request that the Minister of Environment appoint an Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan representative on the Saskatchewan Wildlife Advisory Committee.
