The prescribed prices are
established by Order-in-Ceitneil
at some percentage of the base
price (see below) and for ee!•-
tain key •commodities named in
the Act the minimum guarantee
shall be 80',, of the base price.
Commoditiee To Be
Stabilized
On certain key commodities
there shall be supports in effect
at all tiMPS,. and -established an-
nually, at levels not lower than
SO', t• of the base price. These
key: commodities are: cattle,
hogs, sheep, butter, cheese, eggs,
and wheat, oats and barley pro-
, diteed outside the area designat-
ed in the Wheat Board .Act
(prairie provinces and Peace
River). On all oilier coinrnodi.
ties prescribed prices inay b •
established from time to time
and for any period.
Base Price
Prescribed or guaranteed
prices shall be set at a certain;
percentage of the base price—.
which shall he the average of
market prices during the pre-
vious ten years (3 years in orig-
inal bill). (The base is, there,'
fore, a moving base, and the
apparent assumption is that
some kind of guide to the level
of price supports is contained in
this moving average of market
prices.)
Nature .Of Guarantee
The guarantees established
need not be on all of a product,
or, necessarily, on prices to pro-
ducers. The bill says that action
shalt be taken "ia relation to
such grade, quality, variety,
class, type or form thereof, and
with reference to such place or
places. as the Board considers
appropriate." In other words,
supports may be established on
any grade, or on some processed
or stored form of the product
as with butter, eggs and fowl) ,
and may be based on delivery
or storage at designated points, •
It is not, therefore, a direct
guarantee to the producer of the
product, necessarily,.
15tabiligation lictarsi
• The Beard will be a three-man
Board, and will he apparently of
much the same type as the pre-
sent Prices Support Board. It
will -have no independent power
I to -establish price guarantees—
this remaining a purely govern-
ment responsibility. Its powers
lie in taking action to stabilize
'prices at guaranteed levels.
stahlishing Guarantees
I By amendment of the original
i bill. the bill now provides for
the :following considerations to
; enter in when establishing pre-
scribed prices:

the preamble (see above).
