Issues: Interm Metis Harvest Agreement

The AFGA presents this position on the Interim Métis Harvesting Agreement with the perspective that this is a major concern to the future conservation and shared use of the fish and wildlife resources of this province. The effect of the current Interim Métis Harvesting Agreement will clearly impact and influence fish and wildlife conservation and the allocation of these resources to all hunters and anglers and others who use these resources.  It will reduce the opportunities of non-Métis Albertans to use fish and wildlife. The AFGA expects that changes will be necessary to ensure that the fish and wildlife resources are conserved for future generations and that non-Métis hunting and fishing opportunities are maintained or extended.
