Bill 102: Fisheries and Coastal Resources Act (amended) and Wildlife Act (amended)

This bill primarily affects individual veterans rather than businesses, so direct commercial impact is minimal. Outfitters, fishing lodges, and hunting guide operations in Nova Scotia may see a slight uptick in veteran clientele who now face lower barriers to participating in recreational hunting and fishing. Licence vendors and retailers who sell hunting and fishing licences may see a marginal reduction in licence sales revenue. The provincial government itself absorbs the cost of the fee waiver rather than passing any burden onto private businesses.
