The regulations under the Migratory Birds Convention 

 Act were passed by Order in Council on April 23, 1918, 

 and the following open seasons for migratory game-birds 

 in Canada were provided under Section 2 of these regula- 

 tions: 



Most of the provinces have now amended their game laws 

 in order that the sections relating to the protection of migra- 

 tory birds may conform to the provisions of the Convention. 

 By so doing it will be possible for the provincial govern- 

 ments to enforce the provisions of the Convention within 

 their respective territories.
