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

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 |,

lationship to other acts ond regula-
tions of the government must be stud-
ied. A> number of hearings may he

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,
