SUMMARY |
|
|
|
The major elements of the enactment are the following:
|
|
|
|
The Canadian Grain Commission (the Commission) is required to
establish and maintain standards of quality for Canadian grain and to
regulate the handling of grain in Canada.
|
|
|
|
Greater responsibility is imposed on grain producers to secure
payment for their grain from elevator operators and grain dealers
licensed by the Commission and on licensees of the Commission to
make such payments. The liability of the Commission is limited in cases
where a licensee defaults in its payment to a grain producer.
|
|
|
|
The Commission no longer has a duty to fix maximum elevator
charges and instead has the discretion to decide whether or not it wishes
to regulate this aspect of the grain industry.
|
|
|
|
Elevator operators no longer have to give advance notice to the
Commission of changes to elevator charges.
