(2) As to how far the deer of the Province are in danger of extermination 
under the existing laws; the approximate number still remaining and where 
found in different parts of the Province, with such suggestions of a practical 
nature as may be thought advisable, having special regard to more effective pro-

It is further recommended that the Commissioners have conferred upon them 
the powers of receiving evidence under oath and summoning and compelling the 
attendance of witnesses, as provided by the “Act Respecting Enquiries Concerning 
Public Matters,” Cap. 17, R.S.0., 1887. 
It is further recommended that the Commissioners hold general meetings of 
the Commission at such times only as may be thought useful and necessary for 
furthering the prosecution of the enquiries, the consideration of recommendations 
and settlement of their report; and that for the purpose of facilitating and 
expediting their work they may be given authority to sub-divide among them- 
selves the various branches or subjects of enquiry embraced in the scope of the 
Commission, and to take evidence at different localities in the Province by means 
of sub-committees a3 may be found convenient and as may be approved of from 
time to time by the Provincial Secretary ; that, in addition to the taking of 
evidence under oath or by declarations, the Commissioners may collect information 
in the shape of replies to letters and circulars of enquiry.
