The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by

THE CHIEF JUSTICE—We do not need to hear counsel for the respondent or counsel for the interveners. We are all of the opinion that the majority of the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal was correct in its conclusion that s. 205 of the Lands and Forests Act of Nova Scotia is valid provincial legislation and not superseded or rendered inoperative by s. 118 of the Criminal Code. This appeal must accordingly be dismissed.
Judgment accordingly.

Solicitor for the respondent: David G. Giovannetti, Halifax.
Solicitor for the intervener the Attorney General for Ontario: The Ministry of the Attorney General for Ontario, Toronto.
