37. The Régie may, on the conditions and for the period it determines and after having given interested persons the opportunity to present observations, exempt a marketing board or its directors from the application of sections 60, 89 and 128 if it considers such exemption necessary to facilitate orderly and efficient marketing of the product concerned in the general interest of the producers or the fishermen, as the case may be, without causing serious prejudice to the other intervenors.
The Régie may, in that case, restrict the exercise, by the marketing board, of certain powers under this Act.
It may, in the same manner, suspend, amend or revoke the exemption if, in addition to the reasons mentioned in the first paragraph of section 19, circumstances have changed to an extent which would justify such suspension, amendment or revocation. Where such a decision relates to the application of section 60, the Régie shall first notify the marketing board or its directors in writing as prescribed by section 5 of the Act respecting administrative justice (chapter J-3) and allow the marketing board at least 10 days to present observations.
