Section 148 (1) is redrafted for the purpose of clarifying the position of magistrates in dealing with things seized under
section 135. The subsection is presently silent as to circumstances under which the magistrate is to return seized articles. Clauses (
a) and (
b) set out the only circumstances under which anything seized is to be confiscated to the Crown. Where there is a plea of guilty the thing seized is to be returned forthwith. Where there is an acquittal or conviction following a plea of not guilty the thing seized is to be held during the time limited for an appeal to the district court, that is, thiDty days. Under the new subsection (la) the Minister may return the
article seized during the appeal period. This is intended to take care of the case where an acquittal has been adjudged and the Crown has no intention of appealing.
Section 148, subsection (1) presently reads as follows: "148.
(1) Where any game, pelts, skins, containers, vehicles, air craft, vessels, launches, boats, canoes, firearms, ammunition, decoys, traps, snares, gear, materials, implements and appliances for sho'Oting, hunting, trapping or snaring game are under seizure, (
a) in case a violation of this Act or of the regulations has occurred and the owner is unknown, the justice shall direct that all such chattels under seizure become the property of Her Majesty in the right of the Province to be disposed of as the Minister may direct, (
b) in the case of conviction, where the chattels seized are big game game birds, or pelts or skins of fur-bearing animals, or any part thereof, or where anything is seized in connection with a violation of sections 9, 30 or 43, the justice shall direct by the convicti'On or by a separate order that the things so seized be confiscated to the Crown in the right of the Province to be disposed of as the Minister may direct.".
Section 142 is repealed.
Section 148 is amended by striking out subsection (1) and by substituting the following: 148. (1) 'Vhere anything is seized under the authority of subsection (1) of
section 135, the justice shall (
a) order the thing seized to be confiscated to the Crown in right of the Province where (
i) he is satisfied that its owner is unknown and that it has been used in connection with a con travention of this Act or the regulations, or (ii) it is used in connection with an offence under
section 9, 30 or 43 in respect of which a con viction is adjudged, (

b) or (c). (la) Notwithstanding clause (
c) of subsection (1) , where a justice has made an order under that clause, the Minister may order the thing seized to be returned forth with to the person from whom it was taken at any time before the expiration of the time limited by law for an appeal from the adjudication.
Section 154 is redrafted, both for the purpo~e of clari~cation and to eliminate cevtain provisions presently causmg hardshIps. Subsection (1) as presently worded operates to cancel every licence or permit where anyone is convicted u?-der the Act or the regulations. For example, a fur d~aler conVIcted ~f an offe~ce relating to illegal game bird huntmg loses both hIS gaIr}e bIrd licence and his fur dealer's licence. Under the new subsectlon (1) the result would be that he would only lose his game bird licence.
Subsection (2) is redrafted to conform with the new subsection (11) • The new subsection (3) still authorizes the Minister to reinstate a licence or permit cancelled upon conviction except in the par ticular cases where he is prohibited from doing so in the new sub sections (4) and (5). The new subsections (4) and (5) are substituted for the existing subsections (4) to (7). The present subsection (7) has worked hardship in certain cases where, for instance, a fur dealer follow ing a third conviction cannot receive a further licence thereby putting him out of business.
The new subsection (5) contains in essence the content of the present subsections (5) and (6).
Section 154 presently reads as follows: "154.
(1) A licence or permit issued under the authority of this Act and held by a person convicted of an offence under any of the pro visions of this Act or the regulations shall upon such conviction be deemed to be cancelled without further action or notice.
(2) On conviction of any person for an offence under t1:1is Act or the regulations, the justice shall order that any licence or permit held by the person so convicted be turned in to him or to a constable or a game officer to be forwarded forthwith to the Department.
(3) The Minister may authorize the reinstatement of any such licence or permit so cancelled upon such terms as he deems just.
(4) Notwithstanding subsection (3), if the conviction is for an offence (
a) under
section 74, or (
b) in respect of any beaver, no such reinstatement shall be made during the period of one year immediately following the date of conviction.
(5) A fur dealer, tanner or furrier, who (
a) commits a second offence under
section 74, or (
b) commits a second offence in respect of any beaver, permanently forfeits, on
summary conviction, any such licence so held by him, and his right to a further licence.
(6) Notwithstanding subsection (5), the fur dealer, tanner or furrier whose licence has been forfeited under subsection (5) may appeal to the Lieutenant Governor in Council, and the Lieutenant Governor in Council, if satisfied that the permanent forfeiture of such licence would work undue hardship or injustice, may reinstate such licence (
a) upon the expiration of one year from the date of conviction, and (
b) upon such terms as are deemed just.
(7) A fur de~ler, tanner,. furrier, fur farme.r, guide, outfitter, or holder of a certIficate of regIstration of a traphne shall on conviction for a third offence under this Act or the regulations permanently for feit any such licence so ~eld by him and his right to a further licence.".
Section 162 presently establishes a minimum $50.00 fine in the case of offences under the sections enumerated there. The sectio? is redrafted .w.ith the resul.t that certain offences formerly carrymg a $50.00 mInImUm fine WIll now carry a minimum $25.00 fine. The sections that will carry a $25.00 minimum fine are sec tion 5 (hunting without authority or without a licence)
section 6 (hunting out of season or in a prohibited area)
section 13 qlUnting in a gam~ preser:ve or bird sa~ctuary), and
section 19 (Illegal posseSSIOn m relatIOn to game bIrds or fur-bearing ani mals). Under
section 162, subsection (1), clause (
b) the minimum fine of $50:00 is retained in the case of illegal possession of big game.
SectIon 162 presently reads as follows: "162. Any person who contravenes any of the provisIons contaIned in sections 6, 6, 9, 13, 19, 21, 27, 30, 38, 46, 69, 79, 118 to 120, 153 or 165 Is liable on
summary conviction to a fine of not less than fifty dollars and not more than three hundred dollars, and in default of payment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months.".

(4) Where a licence or permit is cancelled pursuant to subsection (1) upon a conviction for an offence against

a) the Minister shall not authorize the reinstatement of the cancelled licence or permit, and (
b) no licence or permit of the same kind as that can celled shall be issued to the person so convicted until the expiration of one year from the date of con viction. (5 ) Notwithstanding subsection (4), where a fur dealer's licence, furrier's licence or tanner's licence is cancelled pur suant to subsection (1) upon a conviction for a third or successive offence against
section 74 or any provision of this Act or the regulations that relates to beaver or the skins or pelts of beaver, (
a) the Minister shall not authorize the reinstatement of the cancelled licence, and (
b) no licence of the same kind as that cancelled shall be issued the person so convicted unless (
i) one year has expired from the date of the convictions, and (ii) the Lieutenant Governor in Council consents to the issue of such licence.
Section 162 is struck out and the following is sub stituted: 162.
(1) A person who contravenes the provisions of (
a) section 9, 21, 27, 30, 38, 46, 69, 79, 118 to 120, 153 or 155, or (
