—you can rely on the criminal law and common law definition of baiting as being an activity to induce the ire of an animal. Bear-baiting was a traditional activity that would be covered by baiting, whereas putting bait on a hook for the purposes of angling would not be. It's a different meaning, although the same word is used. That's the specific way in which the Criminal Code uses baiting in this. I think you can be assured that there's a tradition of interpretation of the word that protects hunters and anglers who may have to use some form of enticement for what is a legitimate practice.
