Broiler Hatching Egg Levies Updated

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg Marketing Levies Order. It sets new per-egg levies for broiler hatching eggs for Manitoba and for producers in non‑signatory provinces who sell eggs into signatory provinces. The order took effect on June 3, 2026 and the levy rules in the order stop applying on June 23, 2027.

What it does#

• Sets the levy for producers in Manitoba at $0.016190 per broiler hatching egg for eggs marketed in interprovincial or export trade.
• Sets the levy for producers, dealers and hatchery operators in non‑signatory provinces at $0.018807 per broiler hatching egg when those eggs are marketed in interprovincial trade into signatory provinces.
• Replaces the previous wording of the relevant parts of the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg Marketing Levies Order to reflect these rates.
• Makes those levy rules time-limited: subsections affected will cease to have effect on June 23, 2027.
• The order was registered and came into force on June 3, 2026.

Who's affected#

• Producers of broiler hatching eggs in Manitoba who sell eggs between provinces or export them.
• Producers, dealers and hatchery operators located in provinces described in the order as “non‑signatory” when they sell eggs into provinces that are “signatory.”
• Buyers and processors who import hatching eggs from other provinces may see small cost changes passed on by suppliers.
• The document does not list which provinces are treated as signatory or non‑signatory. That detail is defined elsewhere, so it may not be clear from this order alone which provinces fall into each category.

Why it matters#

• These are per-egg charges, but they can add up quickly across large volumes. That may slightly raise costs for producers and could affect prices or margins in the hatchery and poultry supply chain.
• The change targets eggs moved across provincial lines (and for Manitoba, exports). So it mainly affects businesses involved in interprovincial trade of hatching eggs.
• The measure is temporary and set to expire on June 23, 2027, so its impact is limited in time.
