Alberta — Bills

Bill NO'. 25 'Of 1944. A BILL TO AMEND THE BEE DISEASES ACT. NOTE. This Bill amends The Bee DiJseases Act,

chapter 80, R.S.A., 1942. The present subsection (2) O'f sectiO'n 3 prO'vides for a registratiO'n priO'r to' the fifteenth day O'f January in each year. It is considered desirable fQr the purpO'ses O'f adminis tratiO'n that nO' date be fixed befO're which registratiO'n must be made, and accO'rdingly subsectiQn (2) has been struck Qut. . The amendment to' sectiO'n 6 made by sectiO'n 2 O'f the Bill introduces the words "equipment" and "prO'duct of the bees" as they are mO're likely to spread the disease than the bees themselves.

The present sectiO'n 7 prohibits importatiQn O'f bees in hives O'r in any used bee equipment. The effect Qf the amendment is to' permit this if a permit has been Qbtained from the Minister. By sectiQn 4 Qf the Bill

section 8 of the Act is struck Qut and a new sectiQn substituted. The sectiQn formerly prO' hibited the mO'ving O'f bees, etc. a distance O'f more than Qne mile. The new sectiQn remO'ves that limitatiO'n. SectiQn 5 of the. Bill strikes O'ut sectiO'n 11 of the Act and substitutes a new sectiO'n. The change made is. to' eliminate a minimum fine of twenty dollars which was formerly provided. It is cQnsidered that this fine is much tQQ heavy fQr infractiQn Qf certain prQvisiQns of the Act and that it is desirable that there shQuld be nO' minimum fine under this section.

The maximum fine is fixed at one hundred dollars. W. S. GRAY, Acting Legislative Counsel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but is offered in explanation of its provision'8.)
