OFAH Worried Personal Data may be Compromised

The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters says its 100-thousand members are ``deeply concerned'' about having their personal data stored in the U-S. A Tennessee-based company now handles license applications for Ontario hunters and fishers.

 Anglers and Hunters' spokeswoman Lezlie Goodwin says Ontarians are very worried about the situation.

 The Ministry of Natural Resources says Active Outdoors of Nashville signed a contract to protect personal information of Ontario residents, but critics point out the U-S Patriot Act would trump provincial law.
