About this statute
This part sets up SaskCentral, its governance, membership, capital rules, and how federal credit-union provisions can apply to it. This part lets SaskCentral make and file bylaws, but requires minister or member approvals for some major transactions and gives CUDGC and the minister oversight powers. This part lets CUDGC control, manage, restructure, or dissolve SaskCentral in specified circumstances, requires notices and hearings in some cases, gives the registrar inspection and compliance powers, and sets offences, penalties, appeal rights, and service rules. SaskCentral keeps the predecessor entity’s powers, property, liabilities, actions, members, bylaws, and continuing instruments, and the Act starts on proclamation.
