(d) issue to a producer, who sells and delivers wheat produced in the designated area to the Corporation, a certificate indicating the number of tonnes purchased and delivered and the grade of the wheat, which certificate entitles the holder to share in the equitable distribution of the surplus, if any, arising from the operations of the Corporation with regard to the wheat produced in the designated area sold and delivered to the Corporation during the same pool period.

(2) Each sum certain fixed by the Corporation pursuant to paragraph (1)(b) in respect of a grade of wheat other than a base grade shall be an amount that brings the sum certain for that grade into proper price relationship with the sum certain for the base grade.

(2) Subject to sections 33.1 to 33.5, the Corporation shall, after the end of any pool period, distribute the balance remaining in its account in respect of wheat purchased by it during the pool period, after making the deductions from the account provided for in subsection (1) and the payments provided for in subsection (1.1), among holders of certificates issued by the Corporation under this Part during the pool period, by paying on surrender to it of each certificate, unless the Corporation, by order, waives the surrender, to the holder of the certificate, the appropriate sum determined by the Corporation as provided in this Act for each tonne of wheat referred to in the certificate according to grade.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1), if the Governor in Council, having regard to a report by the Corporation of the effect on its financial position of an interim payment on account of the distribution of the balance referred to in subsection (2), is of the opinion that an interim payment can be made without loss, the Governor in Council may authorize and direct that payment to be made.

(4) Expenses incurred by the Corporation with respect to any international organization for the purposes of marketing wheat and the expenses of any commissioner or officer of the Corporation of and incidental to attendance at meetings of that international organization or any committee thereof shall be deemed to be expenses incurred in connection with the operations of the Corporation within the meaning of this section, but nothing in this subsection shall be construed as authorizing the payment by the Corporation of any contributions required to be paid by Canada to or in support of that international organization or any committee thereof.

(5) The Corporation shall, with the approval of the Governor in Council, determine and fix the amounts to which producers are entitled per tonne according to grade under certificates issued pursuant to this Part so that each producer receives, in respect of wheat sold and delivered to the Corporation during each crop year for the same grade of wheat, the same price basis at a pooling point and that each price bears a proper price relationship to the price for each other grade.
