The present Regulation is made under the Natural Products Act. The South Eastern New Brunswick Forest Products Marketing Board was legally established on 15 October 1981 under the afore-mentioned Act with the following purpose to: 1) promote and negotiate better terms of sale and develop new markets for all tree species within the specific area; 2) encourage the production and marketing of high quality primary forest products; 3) encourage and promote good woodlot management practices; 4) cooperate with other local and Provincial Boards in the Province and elsewhere in marketing primary forest products; 5) encourage continued private woodlot ownership. The following powers are vested in the Board: a) to exempt from any order of the Board any person or class of persons engaged in the marketing or the production and marketing of the regulated product or any class, variety or grade of the regulated product; b) to conduct a pool or pools for the distribution of money received from the sale of the regulated product, and, after deducting all expenses, to distribute the remainder of the money so that the payment to each person entitled to share is based on the amount, class, variety and grade of the regulated product delivered by him or her, and to make an initial payment on delivery of the regulated product and subsequent payments until the remainder of the money received from the sale is distributed; c) to appoint officers and employees, assign their duties and fix their remuneration. Furthermore, the Board may establish advisory committees to advise and make recommendations to the Board in respect of any matter respecting which the Board is empowered to make orders under the Act, the Regulations or the Plan.
