This delegation Order under the Appropriation Act No.3, 1978-79 authorizes the Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC) to offer assistance payments to exporters of dairy products and prescribes the terms and conditions of such payments. This Order is obsolete. Assistance payments to exporters of dairy products ceased in 1995 when this practice was deemed an export subsidy under the rules of the World Trade Organization.
