Outfitters jack up the pressure

Angry Northwestern Ontario tourist outfitters are hoping for action from the Natural Resources Minister. They've fired off a letter to Linda Jeffery demanding that a 700 per cent increase in land fee permits be reversed. Their point man is Paul Boucher of the Ogoki lodge who says the message to Jeffery is..."talk to us." Boucher says these are desperate times for outfitters and they don't need such a hefty increase
