Abstract

Section 3 of the above-mentioned Act provides for the continuation of the Livestock Owners Compensation Board. Through the Livestock Insurance Programme, the Newfoundland and Labrador Livestock Owners Compensation Board protects investments in livestock. By easing the financial burden caused by livestock loss, the Livestock Insurance programme helps ensure resources for future generations and prospects for future development. Section 9 outlines the powers and duties of the Board. In particular, the Board shall: a) administer a plan; b) undertake studies and research programmes relating to livestock insurance; c) evaluate and determine livestock losses and pay claims under a plan; d) require an applicant for or a holder of livestock insurance under a plan to provide the information, statements and reports that the Board may require; e) make those orders that are necessary to enforce the observance and carrying out of this Act or the regulations or a plan; and f) exercise and discharge the other powers, functions and duties that the minister assigns to it.
