If there is bait and you are hunting over it, I'd say you're pooched.
How can you be charged for something that is legal?

Its unlawful to steal potato chips, but it's not unlawful for someone to eat the stolen chips.

If you go to the front of the regs under "it is unlawful to...."
There is no mention of hunting ungulates over bait.
Re: Regulations 2020-2022
The way I see this going......
man made salt lick.....baiting
Pile of apples, corn, etc......baiting
hay bale that fell off someone’s truck or left for horses/cattle.....baiting
ranchers salt block for his cattle......baiting
hunting beside a farmers field........legal because the food/attractant wasn’t placed for the intention of hunting

While we wait for the actual legislation to be made available....
Typically legislation exempts in situ agricultural production from being classified as "bait" for the purpose to hunting.

After searching through the Wildlife Act and Various Regs, I found Ministerial Order M205 signed by the Minister on June 26, 2020. This Order has the effect of amending a bunch of Regs.
Of particular interest is the amendment to the Wildlife Act General Regulation as per Appendix 7. This deals with baiting in Region 4. Scroll down to pages 18-19.

Although, I know landowners that under the guise of agricultural production do it for the sole purpose of attracting and hunting ungulates....pretty easy pickings with that type of set up......
