Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Machinery and Equipment Advisory Board : The Machinery and Equipment Advisory Board was established in December 1967 (P.C. 1967-2301) on the recommendation of the Minister of Industry. The Board was responsible for considering applications for the remission of duty on certain machinery under the Department of Industry's Machinery Program. The program, which came into effect 1 January 1968, was part of a response to the Kennedy Round trade agreement stemming from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Its goal was to allow Canadian manufacturers to remain competitive in a new world trading environment.

The Machinery and Equipment Advisory Board evaluated applications primarily based on two criteria: that the machinery not be available from a Canadian producer; and that the remission of duty is in the public interest. Initial membership included the deputy ministers of Industry; Finance; Trade and Commerce; and National Revenue (Customs and Excise). The Governor in Council appointed the chair while the Machinery Branch of the Department of Industry provided secretary and administrative duties for the Board and program.

The Board reported to the Minister of Industry (1968-1969), and its successors the Minster of Industry, Trade and Commerce (1969-1982), and the Minister of Regional Industrial Expansion (1982-1985).

In October 1985, the Board and the Machinery Program were transferred to Revenue Canada (Customs and Excise) following recommendations of the Nielsen Task Force. The board was abolished in 1995 (P.C. 1995-0891).
