(3) [repealed]
(4) A transporter licence shall be valid for a period of 36 months.

(a) any transportation-related provision of an applicable Act or regulation; or
(b) an order made or policy established by the Council or by the Board.
Transporter acts on behalf of Board
4 (1) While transporting milk, a transporter is a bailee acting for and on behalf of the
Board, and the Board obtains title to the milk when accepted by the bulk milk
grader of the transporter.
(2) A transporter is responsible for preservation of the Board’s title to the milk being
transported.
(3) A transporter may represent that it is authorized to transport milk for and on behalf
of the Board, but shall not represent that it is owned by or related to the Board.
Delivery of milk
5 (1) A transporter licensed to transport milk by tank truck shall deliver milk, skim milk
and cream to a licensed processor on the days required by the processor, including
the period when highway weight restrictions are in effect by order of the Minister
of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal, unless accidents or circumstances
beyond the control of the transporter make delivery impossible.
(2) Where the Board is required to ship milk out of Nova Scotia, the Board shall direct
transporters to deliver milk to licensed processors outside Nova Scotia.
Protection of milk
6 A transporter shall
(a) transport milk without unnecessary delay and in such manner as to protect

Other bulk haulage charges
7B The amounts to be paid by the Board to a transporter for all bulk haulage of milk except
milk transported from farms as set out in Section 7, including out-of-Province haulage,
