chapter 11 of the Statutes of Alberta,

Section 2 is struck out and a new

section is substituted. The new

section defines "Commissioner" as the Fish and Game Commissioner of the Department of Lands and Forests and defines "Department" as the Department of Lands and Forests.

Sections 4 and. 4a are each amended by striking out references to the Department of Lands and Mines. The Alberta Pharmaceutical Association Act, 1945, repealed and re-enacted the former Act which appeared in the 1942 Statutes so the refe~nce to this Act is changed accordingly.

Section 4a is further amended by striking out subsection (1) and substituting a new subsection. The effect of the amendment is to enable the Commissioner to distribute any poison which may be approved by him for the purpose of exterminating ,coyotes and wolves. A new

section 5a is added immediately after

section 5. This

section prohibits any action for damages against the Commissioner or any person authorized by the Commis sioner in respect of the setting out or distribution of poisons under the provisions of this Act.
