New Brunswick Egg Levy Set

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Canadian Egg Marketing Levies Order. It sets the egg levy rate that producers in New Brunswick must pay at $0.4350. The order was registered (and came into force) on April 22, 2020 and was published in the Canada Gazette on May 13, 2020.

What it does#

• Amends the Canadian Egg Marketing Levies Order to set the levy for producers in New Brunswick at $0.4350 (this text does not specify the unit or basis for that amount; the main levies order explains how levies are measured).
• The change took effect on the day the order was registered: April 22, 2020.

Who's affected#

• Egg producers operating in New Brunswick — they are the ones required to pay the levy set by this order.
• The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency administers and collects egg marketing levies and will apply this rate.
• Others in the egg supply chain (processors, retailers, consumers) might notice indirect effects, but the order directly changes obligations only for producers. The exact downstream impact is not specified in the order.

Why it matters#

• This sets the exact levy amount that New Brunswick producers must pay, which affects their costs and farm income calculations.
• Changes in producer levies can influence production decisions and, over time, may have small effects on supply and retail prices — the order itself does not predict those outcomes.
• The amendment is a routine administrative step to implement the marketing plan administered by the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency.
