 after specified, and such instructions shall be carried out by the owner or the lessee of 

 the infected or suspected vegetation, vegetable matter or containers thereof, and such 

 remedial treatment shall be carried out and continued until the insect, pest or disease 

 shall be deemed by the inspector to have been exterminated.

 tions of an inspector, shall be granted by the Governor in Council upon the recom- 

 mendation of the Minister.
