moved for leave to introduce Bill C-305, an act to amend the Criminal Code (selling wildlife).
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to introduce this private member's bill which would bring the offence of selling wildlife parts under the Criminal Code. This is a concern that many Canadians have with regard to the protection of endangered species and the illegal taking of wildlife and the selling thereof of parts such as horns et cetera for whatever reason.
This bill would have the penalties for the illegal killing of wildlife and the selling of parts brought under the Criminal Code.
