A lot of people seem confused about the amnesty.
If you have a Valid hunting license..... you are a sustenance hunter period.
This is 100% false information. Sustenance hunter has a very specific definition in the law. Your definition is just your own fantasy.
Here is the wording in the Alberta Wildlife Act (each province will have their own)
Subsistence hunting licence — eligibility
39(1) A person is eligible to obtain or hold a subsistence hunting licence if and only if
(a) he is a resident, and
(b) the Minister is satisfied that he is in dire need of sustenance for any of his family members, including his adult interdependent partner.
