The effect of the changes will be to make obtaining a handgun permit easier for those persons who need to travel in northern and. remote areas for their livelihood and need to protect their lives against wild animal attacks. As a restricted weapon, the’ handgun is strictly controlled in Canada and the present law governing’ issuance of carrying per- mits for restricted weapons states (section 97 Criminal Code, 2,(a),) a permit can be granted to a person for among other reasons if the handgun is "to protect life or property, or (b) for use in connection witn his lawful profession or. occupation.” The new guidelines on applying the law governing issuance of carrying per- mits for handguns are as follows: - that handgun carrying permits be issued to persons who must travel in northern and remote wilderness areas for the purpose of otection of life against wild animal attacks it: 1) the work is such that the person is required to come in contact with wild animals rather than avoid them, and if the calibre and ‘ weapon are adequate to provide pratection, 2) the person is a licensed trapper, prospector, geologist, timber cruiser, etc., who obtains hig prin- cipal income from these occupations and must travel in remote areas for ex- tended periods of time carrying his equipment on his person ‘andit the calibre — and weapon are adequate to “provide protection. ~:~ ~ Forest harvest The Prince Rupert Forest District summary of cut for the month of November shows that 260,215,543 cubic _feet of timber was cut this year.
