Improving Canada's Grain Quality Assurance System

A Discussion Paper on the Use of Variety Eligibility Declarations

How to Provide Input

The Canadian Grain Commission wishes to hear from you, individually or as part of producer or grain industry organizations by March 31, 2003. We will be scheduling meetings with stakeholder organizations over the coming months. We are available to attend meetings you organize to discuss this topic. We invite written comments. As well, you can join in an online discussion. Discussion forum closed. Thank you for your participation.

Discussion Questions

In preparing to meet with us, or in the drafting of written submissions, we ask you to consider answering the following questions

  1. Is there an alternative to the use of variety eligibility declarations that would enable us to segregate grain shipments cost effectively and to meet our customers needs?
  2. What type of deterrents to misrepresentation of grain shipments should be in place?
  3. What should be done if a producer or other shipper of grain chooses not to sign a variety eligibility declaration?
  4. Who should investigate allegations of misrepresentation? Who should enforce?
  5. What will the use of variety eligibility declarations mean to the operation of your farm or company?
  6. What problems do you foresee, and do you have suggestions for how to solve them?
  7. What benefits do you believe will result from the use of a variety eligibility declaration?

We need to hear from you. Please address all questions, requests for meetings and written submissions to:
