- This bill aims to protect fruit and vegetable farmers by amending the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act. It states that if a supplier sells perishable fruits or vegetables to a purchaser, and the purchaser doesn't fully pay for them and becomes bankrupt or subject to receivership, the fruits, vegetables, and their proceeds of sale should be held in trust by the purchaser for the supplier. This means that the supplier would have a claim to these assets even if the purchaser is unable to fully pay for them. The bill also includes provisions for the supplier and purchaser to seek court directions and appeal decisions. The laws of the province where the purchaser resides or does business apply to this trust, and any conflicts with this bill are resolved in favor of the provincial laws.
