Chicken Marketing Levies End Date Set

Summary#

This item updates the Order Amending the Canadian Chicken Marketing Levies Order (SOR/2022-50). It sets the date when the marketing levies will stop: March 31, 2023, and the change takes effect on April 1, 2022.

What it does#

• Replaces a short part of the Canadian Chicken Marketing Levies Order to state that the levies “cease to have effect on March 31, 2023.”
• States the amendment comes into force on April 1, 2022.
• The text does not change or list any specific levy amounts or rates.

Who's affected#

• Chicken Farmers of Canada, which is involved in the marketing plan and the levies, is directly tied to this order.
• Anyone who pays the levies set out under the Canadian Chicken Marketing Levies Order will be affected by the levy ending on March 31, 2023. The order text itself does not name exactly who pays the levies.

Why it matters#

• The amendment gives a clear end date for the existing chicken marketing levies: March 31, 2023.
• That end date matters for budgeting and planning by the body that collects the levies and by the people or businesses who pay them.
• The change is administrative and limited in scope; it does not, in the published text, change levy amounts or introduce new rules.
