Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Board of Grain Commissioners for Canada : The Board of Grain Commissioners was established in 1912 (2 Geo. V, chap. 27). Three Commissioners were appointed to administer the provisions of the Canada Grain Act (2 Geo. V, chap. 27). These provisions included the inspection, weighing, storage, and transportation of grain, the fixing of certain tariffs, the establishment of certain standards and the operation of Canadian Government Elevators. Minor changes have been made over the years (Canada Grain Act, R.S.C., 1952 chap 25 as amended), however the basic features of the Board have been maintained. They include the following: Executive Office; Inspection Division; Weighing Division; Statistical Division; Research Laboratory; Government Terminal Elevators; Grain Appeal Tribunals and Committees on Western and Eastern Grain Standards. Headquartered in Winnipeg, the Board of Grain Commissioners reported to the Department of Trade and Commerce from 1912 to 1960, and since that date to Agriculture Canada. In 1971 the Board of Grain Commissioners' name was changed to the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC). The Board of Grain Commissioners garnered its authority from the Canada Grain Act (1912) and the Grain Futures Act (1939). When the Board of Grain Commissioners was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Minister of Agriculture in 1960, the Grain Division became the liaison office between Trade and Commerce and Agriculture.
