In a previous post, it was asked how you would spend $50 million dollars if raised over 10 years through a tax on fishing related purchases.

It seemed clear that many did NOT want another tax.
Some had ideas where that money should go
Ok...here are some facts;
1) Over the past ten years the revenues of the Alberta Conservation Association totalled $147 Million
2) Of that revenue, on average for that ten year period, 29.4% came from fishing license sales.
3) So, over the past 10 years about $43 Million has been collected by the ACA which should have been used to engage in fisheries initiatives (this is in ADDITION to what AEP spent).
In essence, that money came from you through a "tax"...similar to what had been proposed in the original post.
Do you think that Alberta fisheries are better off from 10 years ago after spending $43 Million?
Do you know where/how that money was spent?
Do you think it was spent wisely?
