This Act may be cited as the Fruit Control Amendment Act, 1932, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Fruit Control Act, 1924 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).

Where any provincial district has heretofore been or is hereafter excluded from the operation of Part I of the principal Act, pursuant to the provisions in that behalf contained in section four of that Act, the Minister shall, by notice published in the Gazette, reapply the provisions of the said Part to that provincial district on receipt of a petition praying that those provisions be so reapplied, if such petition is signed by not less than seventy per centum of the producers carrying on business as such within that provincial district and being occupiers of orchards from which not less than one hundred cases of fruit were exported during the then last preceding year:

Provided that the Minister shall not receive any petition under this section in respect of any provincial district before the expiration of three years from the date on which the notice of the exclusion of the provincial district took effect.

Any notice published by the Minister pursuant to this section in terms of a petition presented before the thirty-first day of January in any year, as defined by the principal Act, shall take effect forthwith, and every other notice published pursuant to this section shall take effect as from the thirty-first day of August next following the date of that notice.

Where the provisions of Part I of the principal Act are reapplied to any provincial district pursuant to this section, the provisions of sections five and six of the principal Act shall, with such modifications, if any, as the circumstances may require, be revived by the Governor-General by Order in Council, so as to provide for the appropriate representation of that provincial district on the Export Control Board.
