That's a Provincial hunting regulation, not a Federal firearm regulation, specific to hunting.
In BC you can hunt with a shotgun loaded with slugs and no plug (where that is a allowable firearm, ie, you can't hunt geese with slugs and an unplugged gun, but you can use it to hunt deer in a rifle zone without a plug and slugs).
If you aren't hunting using that specific shotgun then it doesn't need to be plugged, ie if you are using it for personal defense.
