Quebec Beef Cattle Levies Updated

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Beef Cattle Research, Market Development and Promotion Levies Order (registered April 6, 2021). It sets new levy amounts that people in Quebec must pay when they sell certain types of cattle across provincial lines.

What it does#

• Replaces part of the levy table in the Beef Cattle Research, Market Development and Promotion Levies Order with new dollar amounts for three categories. The new levies are:
  • Item 2(a) — $6.05
  • Item 2(b) — $15.90
  • Item 2(c) — $10.55
• Confirms the Order came into force on the day it was registered (registered April 6, 2021).

Who's affected#

• Residents of Quebec who sell:
  • bob calves
  • cull cows
  • fed cattle through interprovincial trade.
• The money goes to the Canadian Beef Cattle Research, Market Development and Promotion Agency, which runs promotion and research programs for the beef sector.

Why it matters#

• These are the specific per-unit charges buyers/sellers in Quebec will need to pay when those animals move between provinces.
• The levies fund industry research, market development and promotion activities managed by the Canadian Beef Cattle Research, Market Development and Promotion Agency.
• If you work in Quebec’s beef industry and sell the listed animals across provincial borders, these amounts affect your costs and the funding available for industry programs.
