Conseil de la pomme de terre de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard c. Canada (Agriculture et Agroalimentaire) — 2024 CAF 180

The Federal Court of Appeal upheld a ministerial order under the Plant Protection Act declaring Prince Edward Island infested with potato wart and prohibiting movement of seed potatoes without inspector authorization. The decision confirms that ministerial action taken partly to protect export markets is not an improper purpose under the reasonableness standard.
