Summary
Summary#
These are final regulations (SOR/2021-109) that update the national quota numbers for broiler hatching eggs. The Canadian Hatching Egg Producers replaced the quota schedules in the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers Quota Regulations to set revised limits for 2021 and initial limits for 2022. The regulation was registered May 20, 2021 and published June 9, 2021.
What it does#
- Replaces the schedule in the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers Quota Regulations with new provincial limits for broiler hatching eggs.
- Sets limits that apply for the period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (revised 2021 numbers).
- Ontario: 255,891,973
- Quebec: 213,445,288
- Manitoba: 37,327,537
- British Columbia: 121,521,454
- Saskatchewan: 31,770,210
- Alberta: 84,302,675
- Export column: 0 for all provinces
- Sets initial limits for the period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 (initial 2022 numbers), which come into force on January 1, 2022:
- Ontario: 261,622,854
- Quebec: 218,055,879
- Manitoba: 38,153,241
- British Columbia: 124,209,571
- Saskatchewan: 32,472,983
- Alberta: 86,167,494
- Export column: 0 for all provinces
- Timing: the part replacing the 2021 schedule took effect on registration (May 20, 2021) and the part setting the 2022 schedule takes effect January 1, 2022.
Who's affected#
- Broiler hatching egg producers and hatcheries in the signatory provinces listed above.
- Provincial marketing agencies and quota managers who allocate and track egg quotas.
- Poultry farmers, processors and integrators who rely on day-old chicks for broiler production.
- Exporters: the schedules show the export column as 0, so exporters would see no export allowance under these limits.
Why it matters#
- These numbers determine how many broiler hatching eggs can be produced and moved between provinces. That affects the supply of day-old chicks for chicken meat production.
- Changes in quota levels influence farm planning, how many hens are kept for hatching, and potentially producers’ incomes.
- The 0 export entries mean the schedules do not allow export volumes under these limits, which could matter for producers or companies looking to sell hatching eggs abroad.
- Overall, this is a routine update of quota ceilings set by the national agency to match production and market needs.
