Abstract

A Board of Arbitration and a Review Tribunal are continued under section 4. A dealer may, within the prescribed time, file with the Board a written complaint against a dealer licensed under this Act for failure to comply with the regulations relating to grades, standards or marketing of prescribed agricultural products in import, export or interprovincial trade. "Agricultural product" in this Act means: (a) an animal, a plant or an animal or plant product, (b) a product, including any food or drink, wholly or partly derived from an animal or a plant, or (c) a product prescribed for the purposes of this Act. A party to any complaint proceedings may apply to the Tribunal for a review of the decision of the Board. Every agricultural product legend and every grade name is a national trade-mark and the exclusive property in the trade and, subject to this Act, the right to the use of the trade-mark are hereby vested in Her Majesty in right of Canada. No person shall, except in accordance with this Act or the regulations: (a) market an agricultural product in import, export or interprovincial trade; (b) possess an agricultural product for the purpose of marketing it in import, export or interprovincial trade; or (c) possess an agricultural product that has been marketed in contravention of this Act or the regulations. Other provisions of this act deal with inspection, enforcement, illegal import and other offences. (42 sections)
