9.(1) Every scheme shall provide for the following matters, that is to say:

(a)for the establishment of a fund (in this section referred to as the "the

the fund of all moneys received by the board, and for the payment out of
the fund of any moneys required by the board for the operation of the scheme
or otherwise for the purposes of this Act;

(b)for the payment by producers of contributions to the fund of such amounts
as the board, with the approval of the Ministry, may determine to be necessary
for the operation of the scheme or otherwise for the purposes of this Act, and
for the manner in which the contributions of producers will be assessed;

(c)for exempting from the payment of contributions under the scheme such
classes of producers being producers exempted from registration under the
scheme, as the Ministry may determine;

(d)for the distribution among producers, in such manner as may be provided by
the scheme, of all moneys standing to the credit of the fund and not required
for the operation of the scheme or otherwise for the purposes of this Act;

(e)for the manner in which the moneys of the board may be invested;

(f)for the accounts to be kept by the board and for the audit of those
accounts;

(g)for the furnishing by a board to the Ministry of Finance, so long as the
board is under any financial liability to that Ministry, of the audited

may require;

(h)for the furnishing by the board to the Ministry and to registered producers
of accounts, returns and other information;

(i)for the furnishing by the board of a copy of the accounts of the board to
any person requiring it, upon payment of such fee as the scheme may specify.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) a scheme may provide that
contributions to defray the cost of any capital expenditure shall be assessed
separately from contributions to defray the cost of any other expenditure or
expenses of the board.

(3) The Ministry may by order require the board administering a scheme to
impose a special levy or levies

(a)for the purpose of securing that the provisions of the scheme operate
equitably as between all classes of producers; or

trading under the scheme;

(4) The amount of any contribution payable under a scheme by a producer to
the fund, and the amount of any levy imposed upon a producer under subsection
(3), shall be a debt due to the board from such producer.

(5) A scheme may provide for empowering the board, in such class of cases as
may be specified in the scheme, to pay compensation to registered producers in
respect of any loss which, in the opinion of the board, has been occasioned to
such producers by the operation of any scheme, whether administered by that
board or not.
