44th Parl. 1st Sess.
February 08, 2022
Prohibition of Fur Farming
  • Bill C-247, also known as the Prohibition of Fur Farming Act, aims to establish prohibitions and offences related to fur farming. It prohibits owning, operating, breeding, inseminating, slaughtering, giving, renting, selling, or transporting fur-bearing animals for commercial purposes. Anyone who violates these prohibitions can be fined up to $250,000 or imprisoned for up to two years. The court may also make additional orders, such as prohibiting the accused from owning or residing with an animal and requiring them to pay for the costs incurred by an organization taking care of a fur-bearing animal. Fur-bearing animals may be forfeited to the government and must be disposed of as directed by the Minister. The Act will come into force one year after it receives royal assent.
