Revision of Grain Act Recommended by Ottawa
A unanimous report to Parliament calls for a complete revision and consolidation of the Canada Grain Act in the next session. Key proposals include banning mixing in four red spring wheat grades, setting an August 1 1930 start, a 75 25 outturn standard for terminal elevators, and restructuring the Board of Grain Commissioners with four assistant commissioners located in the prairie provinces and Ontario. The board would gain powers to assess loss and enforce findings, with appeals in district or county courts. The producers would hold half the representation on the new board, which would include members from the Board of Grain Commissioners, the Board of Grain Appeal, the chief inspector and chemist, the Dominion cerealist, a ruillers representative, and producers from Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba and British Columbia.
