Hundreds of Saskatchewan sport hunters and anglers are having their say on the province's hunting and angling regulations and, as a result, the Saskatchewan Government is extending the survey deadline from May 9 to May 23.
"Hunting and angling regulations hit home for thousands of Saskatchewan families whether they go out on the land to put food in their freezers or just get away and relax," Enterprise Minister Jeremy Harrison said. "It's great to see hundreds of hunters and anglers taking the time to have their say and let us know how we can make regulations work for them."
The survey is collecting views from hunters and anglers from across Saskatchewan as well as stakeholders and out-of-province visitors. Enterprise Saskatchewan is leading the province's regulatory modernization process and will be co-ordinating this review. The feedback received through the survey will be forwarded to officials with the Ministry of Environment for analysis which will then be considered by the Saskatchewan Government's Red Tape Reduction Committee.
The Red Tape Reduction Committee is made up of several members of the legislative assembly. The committee has been tasked with reviewing all regulations that have an impact on business to ensure that Saskatchewan's regulatory structure is effective and efficient.
"Saskatchewan hunters and anglers are providing us great feedback on our regulations and extending the deadline will create more opportunities for us to get more first-hand viewpoints," Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said.
An electronic link to the survey can be found on the Enterprise Saskatchewan website at www.enterprisesaskatchewan.ca. The survey will close on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, at 11:59 pm (CST).
