ACPC AGM Resolution on Act of God

[wd9]

At the AB Canola Producers AGM there was a single resolution that asked the ACPC to, am paraphrasing, force grain companies to include act of god clauses in contracts and if the did not agree to use legislation that they be included.

No one was there to make a motion in favour which was odd so it was not voted on and effectively died on the floor.

While i feel it is a very bad idea as the price would reflect the risk transfered to the buyer, esp if it was legislated, was wondering what others thought?

Also bad idea, as grain producers would abuse it and it would end up costing everyone a lot more than it should.

If you want a resolution passed at an AGM, you should show up so that you can explain to the rest of us why its a good idea. If you can't make it there, then convince someone else to do it for you.

If anyone would have made the motion at the AGM, they would have been obligated to speak in favor of it. Nobody was willing to do that, so the resolution died.

The system worked.
