The president of the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters is applauding Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Randy Hillier for his stance on the spring bear hunt.

Doug Reynolds says the cancellation of the hunt in 1999 was a mistake that wasn't based on good science or good economics.

Hillier says reinstating the hunt would mean millions of dollars for the economies of northern and rural Ontario.
