I have been thinking about the Migratory Birds Convention Act. I recognize that it's a pretty narrow act, in that it deals only with the hunting, commercialization, or trafficking of certain species. Habitat protection is not specifically in that act. If we're looking at the protection of habitat for these migratory birds, if we're looking at protecting wetlands in particular, is that something best served through this convention act, or is it something that would fit more under the Canada Wildlife Act?
I'm thinking about how to get at active habitat protection. What legal tool, what law, are we using?
