The province is proposing minor changes to the Farm Implements Act and Regulation 369 to reduce paperwork.
The Ministry will retain the dealer requirement as a permit by rule, whereby a farmequipment dealer is required to notify OMAFA through the existing registration form.
The legislation provides protection for dealers from unjustified terminations of dealership agreements and buy-back requirements when the dealership agreements end. The Act also improves farm implement safety through supporting the development of farm implement safety standards.
