Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal (CART)

The Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal is an independent tribunal established by the Government of Canada to provide impartial reviews of notices of violation issued by federal agencies regulating agriculture and food.

Federal agencies, including the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Canada Border Services Agency and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency, use Administrative Monetary Penalties as part of their escalating scale of enforcement providing an expeditious, non-punitive means to promote regulatory compliance.

Mandate

In line with its mission, the CART's mandate is to provide independent, fair, cost-effective and timely review of the validity of administrative monetary penalties (AMP) issued to any person by a federal agency under the AMP Act. As an independent quasi-judicial body established by Parliament, under the Canada Agricultural Products Act and the AMP Act, the CART maintains an arm's length relationship from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Health Canada, Public Safety Canada and their Ministers. Each member of the CART is appointed for a fixed term and may not be employed in the federal public service.

Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board (CCPERB)

The Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board is an independent, quasi-judicial decision-making body that reports to the Minister of Canadian Heritage.

Established in 1977 by the Cultural Property Export and Import Act, the Review Board determines whether cultural property is of outstanding significance and national importance with a view to protecting and preserving Canada’s artistic, historic, and scientific heritage and making it accessible to the public.

Mandate

• Certify cultural property as being of outstanding significance and national importance;
• Establish export delays to provide designated organizations with an opportunity to acquire significant cultural property threatened with permanent export; and
• Determine fair cash offers to purchase cultural property for refused export permits.

Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT)

The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal is similar to a court of law, but is less formal and only hears cases relating to discrimination; it decides whether a person or organization has engaged in a discriminatory practice under the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHR Act). If the answer is yes, the Tribunal decides how to compensate the victim and how to prevent similar cases of discrimination in the future.

The act states that all Canadians have the right to equality, equal opportunity, fair treatment, and an environment free of discrimination. The CHRT applies these principles to cases that are referred to it by the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC).

Mandate

The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has a statutory mandate to apply the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) based on the evidence presented and on the case law in the cases it hears.
