THE DOMINION MARKETING - BOARD |.

“'The Dominion Marketing Board, re- cvutly ‘established has had many pro- hicms to deal with during its brief ex- ivtonce, Since the Natural Products Marketing Act is new. legislation In most parts of Canada there -is -consid- erable --uneertainty ~ concerning: its method of operation. The nature and volume. of . correspondence... suggests that the Board willbe called upon to fleal with many varieties of problems. ‘Two schemes which had been pre- pred by two interested groups prior tu the establishing of the Board have leen dealt. with and approved. One of these provides for the reculation of the exportation of apples and pears; the other deals with the marketing of Hritish Columbian’ tree fruit. Both sthenies seenr to be operating with re- litively little difficulty.

There is much interest concerning the procedure .in’ submitting. schemes nuda little impatience at what seems to he delay in dealing with them. In that connection it should be noted that 2 stheme for the marketing of a pro- duct must be submitted by farmers or persons engaged in marketing. It is bot the function of the Dominion Tieard to prepare schemes for the In- dnstry. When a scheme has been pre pared it must he submitted to the Min ixtey of Agriculture at Ottawa with 4 Petition indicating the amount of sup- rart hack of the proposal. If the Miulster is satisfied that those making ihe submission “represent adequately the producers or persons engage in marketing, he will submit the scheme in the Marketing Board.

Schemes cannot be dealt with hasti- ly. They request powers which are quite signifieant and have an import- nut bearing on many persons and on Innny interests. When scheme reaches the Dominion Marketing Board it is

first examined to determine whether it is in proper order for consideration. This may require correspondence with those submitting the schemes, as fre- quently the provisions are not clear. The effect of the scheme on producers and consumers must then be consider- ed. If the scheme is to deal with ex-} port trade, consideration of ity, effect on. the importing country and: its re- ception by competitors oust be given. It must be viewed in the'light of inter- national relations and trade sagree- ments. The legality of ‘the preposals |, included in the scheme and their re- lationship to other acts ond regula- tions of the government must be stud- ied. A> number of hearings may he Necessary in connection with a single scheme. : 7

It is obvious that a good deal of in- vestigational work must preceds the approval of any scheme.’ The time required for this will depend upon the nature of the proposal and the thor- oughness with which preliminary work has been done by those submiliting the scheine, but in any ease it may ordin- arily be a mutter of several weeks and possibly months,

The Dominion Marketing Moard bas & number of schemes dealing with a variety of products tnder eonsidera- tion. During the past week five dele- eations have been heard by the Board with reference to different schemes.
