Broiler Hatching Egg Levy Expiry Date

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg Marketing Levies Order: SOR/2022-164. It sets a firm end date — June 23, 2023 — for certain levy provisions in the broiler hatching-egg marketing rules. The amendment came into force when it was registered on June 24, 2022.

What it does#

• Replaces subsection 2(3) of the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg Marketing Levies Order to say that subsections 2(1) and 2(2) will stop applying on June 23, 2023.
• States that the amendment itself comes into force on the day it is registered (which was June 24, 2022).

Who's affected#

• Members of the broiler hatching-egg sector — producers who market hatching eggs and bodies that collect marketing levies — are the most likely to be affected.
• The Canadian Hatching Egg Producers (the agency that made the amendment) and the National Farm Products Council (which approved it) are directly involved.
• It is unclear from the text whether there are downstream effects on hatcheries, poultry processors, or consumers; they could be affected indirectly if levy rules change after the expiry date.

Why it matters#

• The amendment gives the industry a clear deadline — June 23, 2023 — when the current levy provisions will end, which matters for budgeting and planning.
• Setting an expiry date suggests these levy rules were intended to be temporary or up for review. That can affect how producers and the agency plan for fees or any replacement rules after that date.
