55. A licence for provisional custody issued under section 74 of the Regulation respecting animals in captivity (O.C. 1029-92, 92-07-08) is renewable if the licence holder submits an application in writing to the Minister that includes the fees prescribed by the Regulation respecting the scale of fees and duties related to the development of wildlife (chapter C-61.1, r. 32). Despite the foregoing, the licence may not be renewed after an animal has died or been disposed of.
Within 15 days of the death of an animal, the person who had custody of the animal must turn it over to a wildlife protection officer or send to the Minister written confirmation by a veterinary surgeon of the animal’s death, together with its microchip.
The holder of a licence for provisional custody may exhibit the animal indicated on the licence provided that the holder obtains a licence to keep animals for exhibition purposes.
