There's pressure mounting to have the Ministry of Natural Resources continue trapping and relocating nuisance bears.It wants to hand those responsibilities onto police, and in some cases, municipalities.
In the legislature, Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell says there's already been a number of close calls involving the public and bears since the announcement and accuses the government of making changes without having an alternative plan in place.
Natural Resources Minister Michael Gravelle says Ministry staff will still work with local authorities in emergency situations.
