59. Any person who or partnership which is both a producer and engaged in the marketing of a product marketed under a plan has the rights and is bound by the obligations attached to both activities.
This section applies even where the person or partnership acts through an agent, mandatary, company or partnership of which he or it is a shareholder or partner. It also applies where the person or partnership agrees with any other person or partnership that the latter shall carry on the activity concerned on his or its behalf.
However, any person who or partnership which owns a private woodlot of at least 800 hectares in a single block, in respect of which he or it is a certified forest producer within the meaning of section 120 of the Forest Act (chapter F-4.1), does not have the rights and is not bound by the obligations referred to in the first paragraph in respect of timber harvested on that woodlot and marketed under a plan, if such timber is harvested for himself or itself and processed in a plant which he or it owns.
