Where you're going with this makes a lot of logical sense. The distinction in this subsection of the Criminal Code between birds and other animals doesn't seem to cohere with the rest of what this committee, and this legislation, and what the Criminal Code itself say in distinguishing between them. I think that would have some degree of logic to it. I'd be happy to send something to the committee, after this meeting, with some proposed language.
