The legislation under attack here is not declaratory or directory as in the case of the Official Languages Act nor is it regulatory as in the case of the Theatres and Amusements Act. It is exculpatory in nature. It provides that in certain specified circumstances conduct which otherwise would be criminal is permissible. It does not impose duties, but instead provides exemption from criminal liability. That being so, it is difficult to find any class of person directly affected or exceptionally prejudiced by it who would have cause to attack the legislation.
