Special Temporary Egg Quotas for 2022

Summary#

This final regulation updates the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986 by changing the heading of Schedule 1.1 to cover special temporary market requirement quotas for the period December 26, 2021 to December 31, 2022. The change came into force on December 26, 2021.

What it does#

• Replaces the heading of Schedule 1.1 with a title reading that limits special temporary market requirement quotas for the period beginning December 26, 2021 and ending December 31, 2022.
• According to the explanatory note, the amendment establishes the number of dozens of eggs that producers may market under those special temporary quotas for that period. The text shown does not include the specific numbers — those would appear in the full Schedule 1.1.
• Brings the amendment into force on December 26, 2021.

Who's affected#

• Egg producers who sell eggs under the special temporary market requirement quota system are the primary group affected.
• The change also matters to provincial egg marketing boards and others who track or administer quotas.
• The broader supply chain (processors, retailers) could see indirect effects if the quota limits change how many eggs reach the market.

Why it matters#

• This sets or clarifies how many eggs can be marketed under a temporary quota for most of 2022, which can affect how many eggs enter the Canadian market.
• That in turn can influence producers’ ability to sell extra production, and may affect supply and prices locally.
• The amendment appears to be a routine step to implement the Agency’s marketing plan; the specific dozens allowed are in the schedule itself (not shown in the excerpt), so anyone affected should check the full Schedule 1.1 for the exact limits.
