| <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> | |
| <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-style: italic;">Regulation 440: Vegetables for Processing - Marketing:</span></p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Provide flexibility for tomato / carrot processors and their associated producers to determine whether they need a Commission representative to hold the vote(s) at annual meetings prior to negotiations.</span></li> | |
| <li style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Provide for joint negotiating agencies if more than one tomato or carrot processor and their associated producers are in favour of establishing a single negotiating agency.</span></li> | |
| <li style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Increase the producer participation thresholds that would mandate producer meetings where producers of a regulated commodity determine whether to:</span></li> | |
| <li class="indent-1" style="font-size: 15px; margin-left: 3em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Accept their processor's final negotiated offer; or</span></li> | |
| <li class="indent-1" style="font-size: 15px; margin-left: 3em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Proceed to arbitration.</span></li> | |
| <li class="indent--1" style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Provide clarity around the term "final negotiated offer" in the regulation.</span></li> | |
| <li style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Provide flexibility for all negotiating agencies to appoint conciliators at any time prior to the deadline for completing negotiations.</span></li> | |
| <li style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Require the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Commission to appoint an arbitrator only if a negotiating agency fails to appoint one.</span></li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic;">Regulation 441: Vegetables for Processing - Plan:</span></p> | |

| <li style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Provide for in-person voting in board elections (in addition to mail and electronic voting).</span></li> | |
| <li style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Allow parameters governing the nomination process, ballot counting, and election records to be set by the board similar to other marketing boards by removing these aspects from regulations. (The board must have a policy with respect to nominations for local board elections.)</span></li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> | |
| <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">The Commission revoked two regulations under the Farm Products Marketing Act as they are no longer applicable.</span></p> | |
