Right to Privacy Act
Hunters may encounter one or more Game Check Stations that are being jointly manned by staff from the Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the Tahltan Nation. The objective is to improve the accuracy of harvest data from several local areas within Management Units 6-19 and 6-20. Game Check Stations are currently planned for the junction of Highway 37 and the Ealue Lake Road and at the Stikine River boat launch on Highway 37. All hunters are required to stop at Game Check Stations and will be asked to present hunting licenses, LEH and tag information. Data will be collected regarding all harvested wildlife.
This information will remain confidential. Bold is my emphasis.
This could be challenged under Right to Privacy Act, the MOE has a well established policy regarding RTPA, but I would doubt the Native band would have the infrastructure to collect and then protect the data collected.
