Abstract

The purpose of this Act is to provide for the establishment of funds to promote the interests of all producers of commodities, which are defined as "products derived from plants or animals, including parts, products or by-products, and fish or aquatic plants, that are raised or gathered for profit" (sect. 1). Detailed procedures for the setting up and management of such funds are set out in section 2, including the duties and responsibilities of producers of the commodity, the relevant minister and other government representatives, who will form a Council appointed by the minister. From its revenues (levies charged on producers), the Council will be responsible for expenditures for the (i) benefit and promotion of the commodity's industry in British Columbia (ii) conduct of support research or educational programs in British Columbia in respect of the development and promotion of a commodity. The Council must prepare an annual report (sect. 7). The remaining sections deal with audits, annual general meeting, offences and penalties, power of the Lieutenant Governor in Council to make regulations.
