Thank you very much. Any idea if direction means like supervision in this context? I have a sneeky suspicion it does but then what is even the point of an MPL? Especially when the parent doesn't even need to have a license for the minor to get one. Maybe it just means the parent can tell/direct their minor what they can do with the firearm on any given day?

Yea, I'm a bit under two years off being able to apply for my PAL. I'll probably ask the CFO if they call or I'll call if they don't. I'd like to be able to go out to crown land and do some shooting without needing to bring a PAL holder with me. Thank you for your help.
