Résumé

This Act provides for protection of plants used in agriculture from harmful weeds. "Noxious weed" means any plant proclaimed by the Minister of Agriculture, Forests and Fisheries with the consent of the Privy Council to be a noxious weed pursuant to section 3. Any owner or occupier who fails to use every means to eradicate a noxious weed from his holding shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a specified fine. Every inspector under the Plant Quarantine Act shall report the presence on any land of any noxious weed to the police who shall prosecute the owner or occupier. In any district where no inspector under the Plant Quarantine Act has been appointed the police shall prosecute offenders against this Act. (5 sections)
