Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 105 of 1941. A BILL TO AMEND THE STOCK INSPECTION ACT,1922 NOTE. This Bill amends The Stock Inspection Act, 1922. The definition of "butcher" is amended so as to include dealers who purchase dressed carcasses from farmers, etc. The amendment to subsection (1) of

section 8 is to carry out the real intention and the amendments to subsections (5) and (6) are to bring them in line with subsection (1), which applies to stock transported in certain vehicles as well as driven on foot. The purpose of the new

section lla is to cure an over sight in the Act and provides for the disposition of money received from the sale of stock which may have been im properly shipped. The new

section 13c makes sheep and swine "stock" for the purposes of sections 13a and 13b, thus bringing the transportation of such animals within the restrictions im posed by those sections.

Section 17 (1) has been construed as only requiring a record of hides to be kept where a carcass has been bought also. The amendment is intended to obviate this difficulty. W. S. GRAY, Acting Legislative Counsel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but is offered in explanation of its provisions.)
