Commission Salesperson

COMMISSION SALESPERSON

The Commission's Consolidated General Orders defines a "Commission Salesperson" as follows:

"Commission Salesperson" means a Person who purchases Regulated Product from a designated Agency to offer for sale, sell, or supply to Retailers and sells that Regulated Product directly from a delivery vehicle. Any person who plans to act or who acts as a Commission Salesperson must obtain a Commission Salesperson license. 

​LIABILITY FOR MARKETING COSTS AND LOSSES
 
Pursuant to Section 4 of the British Columbia Vegetable Scheme, the Commission is vested with the powers described in Section 11 of the Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act (the "NPMA").  Pursuant to paragraph 11(1)(o)(iii) of the NPMA, the Commission is empowered to "set and collect…charges from designated persons engaged in the marketing of the whole or part of a regulated product..., and to use those… charges received by the… commission... to pay costs and losses incurred in marketing a regulated product".  The complete Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act can be found at http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/00_96330_01#section11.

​If a Wholesaler or Commission Salesperson procures BC-grown regulated vegetables contrary to the procurement restriction described above, the Commission may impose a charge against the offending Wholesaler or Commission Salesperson to recover marketing costs and losses arising from any market disruption.  Marketing information and a list of all regulated vegetables can be found at 
http://www.bcveg.com/regulated-vegetables.html.
 
Additionally, there may also be other costs or losses incurred if regulated product is not compliant with the required or industry-standard food safety protocols. The Commission may also impose a charge against the offending Wholesaler or Commission Salesperson to recover marketing costs and losses arising from the production or marketing of any such non-compliant regulated product.
