The union representing most staff at the Ontario
Ministry of Natural Resources is urging politicians
to “Save The MNR”.
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union claims the
MNR’s funding has been significantly cut.
OPSEU President Smokey Thomas says they want politicians
of every stripe to make long term funding commitments this
election.

Thomas says the MNR has less staff and resources which
has resulted in a 30% reduction in the number of fish and
wildlife charges laid, a 36% reduction in convictions, and
a 39% reduction in fines paid.
