Résumé

Section 3 outlines the powers of the Federal Minister of Environment with respect to wildlife in Canada. The Governor in Council may establish protected marine areas in any area of the sea that forms part of the internal waters of Canada, the territorial sea of Canada or the exclusive economic zone of Canada (sect. 4). The Minister may, with the approval of the Governor in Council, enter into an agreement with the government of any province to provide for: (a) the undertaking of wildlife research, conservation and interpretation programs and measures, the administration of lands for those purposes or the construction, maintenance and operation of facilities and works related thereto; and (b) the payment of contributions in respect of the costs of those programs and measures. The Minister may, in cooperation with one or more provincial governments having an interest therein, take such measures as the Minister deems necessary for the protection of any species of wildlife in danger of extinction (sect. 8). Section 11 provides for designation of Wildlife Officers. Remaining provisions deal with powers of those officers and prescribe offences.
