Eastern Region

Inspection

Inspectors sample and grade grain at all steps in the grain handling process. Graded samples are representative of everything from a producer's delivery to the cargo being loaded to lake and ocean-going vessels. Inspectors apply standard grading factors and procedures to determine the level of quality of the grain sample. Results of the inspection process are communicated to interested parties by means of official grade certificates, grade advice notices, and letters of analysis. The Eastern Region inspects United States grain and conducts ship hold inspections on behalf of the U.S. Federal Grain Inspection Services.

In the Eastern Region inspection services are available at Baie-Comeau, Montréal, Port-Cartier, Quebec City and Sorel.

Inspection

Grain Sanitation Services

The Grain Sanitation Services unit detects infestations in shipments of Canadian grain and informs producers and elevator operators about infestation prevention and control. It examines submitted and official samples from railcars and ship loadings for infestation. It advises elevator managers on chemical and physical treatments for insect control. The unit recommends cleaning and/or fumigation methods. It assists elevator operators in maintaining the phyto-sanitary conditions of their facilities. It examines grain handling and storage facilities under license in the region to determine levels of sanitation. The unit establishes inspection schedules and monitors all reports on infestation and sanitary conditions of licensed transfer elevators. Joint elevator inspections are conducted with Food Production and Inspection Branch for phyto-sanitary certification.

In the Eastern Region grain sanitation services are available at Baie-Comeau, Montréal, Port-Cartier, and Quebec City.

Protein laboratories are available at Montréal and Quebec City.

Weighing

Weighing personnel are on site during the loading or discharge of grain to and from trucks, railcars, lake and ocean vessels. Through a continual monitoring program and certification process, weighing personnel ensure that buyers and sellers receive full credit for the amount of grain involved in sales transactions. On a regular basis, weighing personnel re-weigh the physical stocks in-store at licensed elevator facilities. This process assures owners of the grain of the availability of their grain stocks. The Eastern Region weighs U.S. grain on behalf of the United States Federal Grain Inspection Services.

In the Eastern Region weighing services are available at Baie-Comeau, Montréal, Port-Cartier, Quebec City and Sorel.
