The present Regulations enact subsection 24 of the Agricultural Products Act. In particular, the Regulations lay down provisions relating to slaughterhouses and the inspection of meat. Subject to section 5, no person shall slaughter an animal unless the animal has been inspected by an inspector immediately before the time of the slaughter. Moreover, no person shall slaughter an animal in any place other than an abattoir for which a licence has been issued under section 10 or an establishment operating under the Meat Inspection Act.
