Outdoor Card cash grab???

[odm2]

I'm not sure if this topic has already been posted but can someone tell me why we need to purchase an outdoor card other than it being the law?

I remember before the card existed I had a paper fishing license, hunting license and tags. The ministry came out with the outdoors card to rid of all the paper lic/tags by having little stickers fixed to the card. That was a great way to keep everything organized and safe from loss or damage. They now got rid of the stickers and went back to paper tags and licenses. Okay great (not really)... so what is the need for the card?
I bought the 3 yr fishing and small game with mine but whats the point? What if I didn't have the cash at the time to purchase the licenses and just renewed the card? What good is it other than to allow me to buy a license? Why do I have to pay a fee in order to be privileged with my right to buy a fishing/hunting license? Am I not Canadian? Is it a donation? If so why cant I right it off? My Picture is not on it so it cant be used as legal Identification.

What good is it?

Guess its the cost of book keeping. Fees to manage draws or process lost cards need to come from somewhere.

I heard a rumor they outsourced the printing to the USA, guess they should have chosen China
