Special Temporary Egg Quotas 2019–2020

Summary#

These final regulations, SOR/2020-3, amend the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986 by updating the heading of Schedule 1.1. They set the limits for special temporary market requirement quotas — the number of dozens of eggs producers may market — for the period December 29, 2019 to December 26, 2020, and came into force on December 29, 2019.

What it does#

• Replaces the heading of Schedule 1.1 so it applies to the period beginning December 29, 2019 and ending December 26, 2020.
• States that the amendment establishes the number of dozens of eggs that producers may market under special temporary market requirement quotas for that period.
• The Gazette excerpt does not show the actual numeric limits. To see the exact dozens allowed, you need the full Schedule 1.1 text.

Who's affected#

• Directly affected: egg producers who use special temporary market requirement quotas administered by the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency.
• Indirectly affected: others in the egg supply chain (processors, distributors, retailers) may notice changes in supply, but the Gazette text does not detail those impacts.

Why it matters#

• Quota limits determine how many eggs producers can legally sell under this special quota. That affects producer sales and the amount of eggs entering the market during the stated period.
• This is a routine quota update by the agency and was approved as part of implementing its marketing plan (approval involved the National Farm Products Council). The public-looking detail missing from the excerpt is the exact number of dozens set for the period.
