Section 22 of the Act was amended by adding two new 

 subsections. New subsection 2 nnakes it an offence to hunt 

 any animal or bird between one-half hour after sunset and 

 one-half hour before sunrise of any day. New subsection 3 

 makes it an offence to use, while hunting, any device capa- 

 ble of throwing or casting rays of light on any object. 



Section 23 of the Act was amended to bring it in line with 

 the amendments to section 22 and authorize the use of a 

 light while hunting under a raccoon licence. In addition, the 

 name of this licence was changed so that it makes clear that 

 it is a licence to hunt raccoon at night. 



Section 29 of the Act was re-enacted so as to require a 

 greater control over imported animals and birds and their 

 progeny. To strengthen the intent of the section, the ele- 

 ment of "into natural cover" was removed from the offence 

 and a new subsection 2 was added making it an offence to 

 permit any animal or bird imported into Ontario or propa- 

 gated from stock imported into Ontario to escape. 



Subsection 2 of section 34 of the Act was amended by 

 striking out the word "shipping" wherever it appeared in the 

 subsection, and subsection 8 of section 34 was amended by 

 inserting after "shall" in the second line the words "while 

 hunting" to make it clear that the required badge must be 

 worn only while hunting. 



Section 39 of the Act was amended by adding subsections 

 5, 6 and 7 making it an offence for a non-resident to take 

 more than one black bear under a licence to hunt bear 

 and making provision for party hunting. 



Section 51 of the Act was amended by adding a new sub- 

 section 2 which exempts a person or game hunting preserve 

 exempted under the regulations from the provisions of sec- 

 tion 51. 



Section 64 of the Act was amended by adding to sub- 

 section 1 the words "to propagate and sell bass and trout" 

 after the word "licence" in the seventh line thus combining 

 the two licences into one licence, and, by striking out the 

 word "licence" in subsection 2 of section 64 and inserting 

 the words "commercial fishing licence" clarifying that the 

 exception therein does not apply to angling licences. 



A new section, section 64a was added to the Act establish- 

 ing the requirement of a licence to own or operate a fishing 

 preserve. Under subsection 2 of section 64a subsection 1 

 does not apply to a person or a fishing preserve exempted 

 under the regulations. 



Section 72 of the Act was amended by adding a subsec- 

 tion 4 authorizing export permits for non-residents in respect 

 of animals or birds. 



Subsection 2 of section 80 of the Act was amended by add- 

 ing section 387 of the Criminal Code to the subsection in 

 order to bring this criminal offence within the purview of 

 the subsection. New subsections 2a and 2b were added to 

 section 80. Subsection 2a provides that upon the conviction 

 of a holder of a licence mentioned in subsection 1 of sec- 

 tion 71 of an offence against section 386 or 387 of the 

 Criminal Code and committed in respect of live game or a 

 wolf held under the licence, the court has a discretionary 

 power of cancelling the licence. Subsection 2b authorizes 

 the court in making a conviction for careless hunting under 

 section 18 of the Act to order that the convicted person shall 

 not apply for or procure a licence to hunt except, upon the 

 successful completion of an examination. Subsection 3 of 

 section 80 of the Act was amended to incorporate the new 

 principle set out in subsection 2b. 



The regulation-making section of the Act, section 83, was 

 appropriately amended to provide for the aforementioned 

 amendments. 



This Act came into force on June 26, 1970, and appears 

 in the 1970 annual statutes as Chapter 58.

 AMENDMENT ACT, 1970 



A number of amendments were made to The Loggers' Safety 

 Act to strengthen and up-date certain sections. 



Clause b of section 1 of the Act was amended to expressly 

 bring within the definition of "logger" an employee of an 

 operator in the course of his employment on a site on which 

 logging is conducted.

 within the definition of "logging" the operation of measur- 

 ing of logs and thereby include scalers within the purview

 ing the words "and for his personal use" at the end of the

 following substituted therefor: 



1. Where an accident, industrial disease, explosion or fire 

 causes bodily injury to a logger whereby he is prevented 

 or is likely to be prevented from working beyond the 

 day of the occurrence, a notice of the occurrence in the 

 prescribed form shall be delivered or mailed to the chief
