Wild Animal and Plant Protection Act : highlights and steps to implementation.: CW66-119/1-1991E-PDF
"To conserve and protect "our special spaces and species" and to assist other countries to conserve their own wildlife populations, Canada's Green Plan proposes "new legislation to attack poaching and illegal trading" in wildlife. The federal government has introduced into Parliament the Wild Animal and Plant Protection Bill. Environment Canada's Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) has worked closely with the private sector and interest groups, other federal departments and agencies and provincial governments to develop the Bill, which when enacted will be referred to as the Wild Animal and Plant Protection Act. This publication provides an overview of the Act, an explanation of the process which must take place for the Bill to become law and a description of the policies which will guide its implementation"--Introduction, page 1.
