Résumé

An Act to regulate use, packing, labelling of and trade in fertilizers. "fertilizer" means any substance or mixture of substances, containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium or other plant food, manufactured, sold or represented for use as a plant nutrient. No person shall sell, or import into Canada, any fertilizer or supplement unless the fertilizer or supplement: (a) has been registered as prescribed; (b) conforms to prescribed standards; and (c) is packaged and labelled as prescribed. No person shall sell any fertilizer or supplement that contains destructive ingredients or properties harmful to plant growth when used according to the directions that accompany the fertilizer or supplement or that appear on the label of the package in which the fertilizer or supplement is contained. Other provisions of this Act deal with enforcement of provisions of the Act and regulation making powers of the Governor in Council, serving also the purpose of implementing, in relation to fertilizers or supplements, article 1711 of the North American Free Trade Agreement or paragraph 3 of article 39 of the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights set out in Annex 1C to the WTO Agreement.
