| 2406 | Bob | Huehn | Today my employer (owner of excvating & heavy equipment) wanted to reach someone at MNR concerning details for submitting a tender they had publicized.
However, with no way to reach a live body for clarification this proved to be exceeding frustrating with hours of potential productivity wasted!
Just another example of stupidity by bureaucrats who think voicemail actually works.
Rubbish! |
| 2407 | Heather | Sinclair | The cuts to this ministry are very disturbing and downright disgusting when governments are talking about being "green" on one hand and yet fail to fund one of our most important ministries. |

| 2427 | Mike | Parker | I find it hard to beleive that last season I did not see any MNR out on Lake St.Clair until the late fall when they could get out and go after the duck hunters or when the ice was on for ice fishermen. I like to have our MNR out in the public eye this will help detur people from poaching on our water bodies.
I was also saddened to find out that the MNR office in Chatham has closed its doors to the public you have to make a appointment to see them now and some have lost there jobs here due to the closure. |

| 2431 | George | Rouse | Ontario MNR is an absolute joke. Poachers have a better chance being hit by lightning then charged. |
| 2432 | nicholas | hinterhoeller | We need to support our enviroment more then anything. |
| 2433 | Rob | Bell | |
| 2434 | Brian | Berriault | you guys really need to step up and support the MNR MOE with some more funding or just let us go shot everything and fish out the lakes then you can just do away with both of them once and for all I am sure there is not another Ministry that has taken the hit that both of these have this is just pure bullshit |
| 2435 | Larry | Knarr | It's this government got off it's behind and support th MNR and sportsmen in this province. Unless I this happening soon, you can kiss my vote and my families votes goodbye when the election rolls around ! |
| 2436 | Jason | Bowman | It has been long overdue the lack of funding to the MNR. It is our natural resources after all. |
