This is only a very small Bill, bringing in two amendments to the Act of 1939, which is referred to here as the Principal Act. In the first place when the 1939 Act was being drafted, there was a mistake made in a certain clause, where the words "salmon and trout" were put in, when it should have been really "salmon and other fish." As a matter of fact, in the Act of 1842, from which this clause was taken, the words "salmon and other fish" occurred. We want to go back to the same wording now. Otherwise, if a person is brought before the court for loitering, say on the side of a lake or river, being about to fish in an illegal manner he could claim that he was only fishing for some fish other than salmon and trout. That is why we want the definition changed.
Section 26 of the Principal Act is also somewhat wanting, in as much as when the Act of 1842 was being reenacted dealing with poisonous substances and effluents being discharged into rivers, Section 80 of that Act should not have been repealed, but it was repealed. Now this section dealing with those poisonous substances and effluents is being put back again. That will bring us back to the position we were in before the 1939 Act was passed. This Bill really contains only those two amendments, to rectify the two mistakes which were made in drafting.
