BC Govt released a series of 2020 proposed regulations. There are a couple waterfowl specific ones but the general one I am having trouble understanding is this one:

Current Regulations:
WATERFOWLER HERITAGE DAYS
Waterfowler Heritage Days (WHDs) for the hunting of ducks and geese occur province wide. Only youth hunters at least 10 years of age and less than 18 years of age who have met all provincial requirements are permitted to hunt, and they must be accompanied by a licensed hunter that meets the prescribed requirements to supervise youth hunters (see page 8 – supervision for youth hunters). The supervising hunter can guide and advise the young hunter but is not permitted to hunt. See individual regions for season dates. Federal regulations have been amended to exempt youth hunters from having to purchase the federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit when participating in WHDs. Provincial regulations have been amended to exempt youth hunters from having to purchase the provincial hunting licence or the junior hunting licence when participating in WHDs. In addition, youth at least 10 years of age and less than 18 years of age are exempt from the requirement to complete hunter safety training (CORE) prior to participating in WHDs. NOTE: Youth who wish to hunt ducks and geese outside of designated WHDs or who wish to hunt for any other species of game, must purchase the appropriate licence and, if 18 years.
WHDs vary from region to region – refer to 2018-2020 Hunting & Trapping Regulations Synopsis for details.




Proposed Regulations:
Regions have 2 days per licence year that are designated as Waterfowl Heritage Days. These two days are being proposed to be added to the general open seasons for migratory game birds.


I don't really understand why it is "repealed" and what it means practically. It doesn't really affect me as I have no youths waiting to get into waterfowling but of course I support more youngsters getting into it to preserve our sport.
