The bill doesn't say “no person shall sell an insignia”. The bill says “no person shall transfer an insignia”. What if I decide I want to transfer my medals to the U.K. Imperial War Museum? I don't want to sell them; I just want to transfer them. Why is it that I have to offer them for sale, then, to the Canadian War Museum? I want to transfer my medals.
