3  Continued operation of permits

(1) Despite the repeal of the Whale Act:
 (a) a permit that was issued under that Act and was in force immediately before the repeal of that Act continues in force for the period for which it would have been in force if that Act had not been repealed; and
 (b) that Act, and instruments (including regulations and authorities) made under that Act, as in force immediately before the repeal of that Act, continue to operate in relation to the permit and the action covered by the permit as if references in that Act to the Minister were references to the Minister administering Division 3 of Part 13 of the new Act.

(2) However, paragraph (1)(b) does not allow the transfer of the permit.
