Turkey marketing levies end March 31, 2025

Summary#

The Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency made an amendment to the Canada Turkey Marketing Levies Order (2019). The change says the levies covered by that order will stop applying on March 31, 2025 and the amendment came into force when it was registered on February 27, 2024.

What it does#

• Replaces a short part of the Canada Turkey Marketing Levies Order (2019) to say that paragraph 2(a) of that order will stop applying on March 31, 2025.
• States the amendment itself took effect on the day it was registered (February 27, 2024).

Who's affected#

• People or businesses who currently pay or collect the turkey marketing levies under the Canada Turkey Marketing Levies Order (2019).
• The Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency, which administers those levies and the related marketing plan.
• The Gazette text does not spell out exactly which groups pay the levies, so it’s unclear from this notice alone whether specific processors, producers, or importers are named.

Why it matters#

• It gives a clear end date (March 31, 2025) for the levy rule in question. That matters to anyone budgeting for levy costs.
• Ending a levy can change revenue available to the Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency and affect programs or activities funded by those levies.
• The notice is short and administrative; it does not explain which specific levy items or amounts are affected.
