Vaccine Egg Quotas Set for 2024–2025

Summary#

These final regulations amend the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986 to set the vaccine quota limits for one year. They put into force limits for producers in Ontario and Quebec for the period December 29, 2024 to December 27, 2025, and come into effect on December 29, 2024.

What it does#

• Replaces Schedule 2 of the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986 with new limits for vaccine quotas.
• Sets the number of dozens of eggs that may be marketed under vaccine quotas during the period:
  • Ontario: 2,155,083 dozens
  • Quebec: 6,735,477 dozens
• Leaves the table entries for the other provinces and territories blank in the published schedule (the item does not explain what those blanks mean).

Who's affected#

• Egg producers in Ontario and Quebec who market eggs under vaccine quotas.
• The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, which administers and enforces the quota rules.
• It is unclear from the notice whether producers in the other provinces and territories are affected, since their rows are blank.

Why it matters#

• These numbers limit how many eggs can be sold under the specific “vaccine quota” category for the 12‑month period. That can affect how much producers plan to produce and sell under that quota.
• The change is administrative and specific to quota accounting for the stated period. The notice does not explain consequences for producers outside Ontario and Quebec.
