Dairy Products Marketing Regulations

Here is a brief overview of the provided document:

These Regulations may be cited as the Dairy Products Marketing Regulations.

The Regulations apply in respect of the production for marketing, or the marketing, in interprovincial or export trade of dairy products. The regulations do not apply in respect of the production for marketing, or the marketing, in intraprovincial trade of milk or cream in liquid form for consumer use.

Before the beginning of a dairy year, the Commission shall calculate the Canadian requirements for milk and cream for that dairy year for use as or in dairy products. The federal quota is determined before the beginning of a dairy year by the unanimous agreement of the Committee.

The portion of the federal quota that each Board shall have available to allot in a dairy year shall be determined before the beginning of the dairy year by the unanimous agreement of the Committee, after it has taken into consideration the Canadian requirements referred to in subsection 4(1).

A person is authorized to engage in the marketing in interprovincial or export trade of a dairy product if they hold a federal licence. The Commission shall cause a federal licence to be issued only to a person who meets certain criteria.

The Regulations also establish procedures for levies and charges, books and records, seizure and disposal of dairy products, and other related matters.
