The provincial government has reinstated the powers of the Saskatchewan Broiler Hatching Egg Producers Marketing Board, 11 years after they were taken away.
The power to deal with quota and industry disputes was assigned to the agriculture minister in May 2000 and then delegated to an administrator.
Roy White, who has been the administrator since 2008, said the issues in 2000 were largely of governance and policy.
In 2000, Saskatchewan halted a quota allocation process that would double production due to friction between the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan and the broiler hatchers board. The CFS powers were restored in 2009.
