contraventions to Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994

I was looking for something else in our laws and found this:

PART II
MIGRATORY BIRDS REGULATIONS

Provision of Migratory Birds Regulations (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/C.R.C.,_c._1035)

Description Fine ($)
27(3)(b)Discharge firearm within 50 m of water area 150
what the heck does it mean?

LegiOn,

Section 27 of the MBR lays out what a permitee can't do when scaring or killing migratory birds while protecting crops/property...The particular sub-section you quote states that while a permitee is attempting to either kill or scare birds off crops you can't shoot your firearm while being within 50 metres of a pond, canal, lake, river, irrigation ditch etc. Hope this helps!
