New Provincial Egg Levy Rates

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Canadian Egg Marketing Levies Order. It sets new levy rates that producers must pay in several provinces and the Northwest Territories. The order was made by the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency and comes into force on April 19, 2026.

What it does#

• Replaces the previous set of levy rates for producers in the listed provinces and the Northwest Territories.
• New provincial and territorial levy rates are:
  • Ontario — $0.5055
  • Quebec — $0.4815
  • Nova Scotia — $0.4805
  • New Brunswick — $0.5165
  • Manitoba — $0.5205
  • British Columbia — $0.5092
  • Prince Edward Island — $0.4905
  • Saskatchewan — $0.5320
  • Alberta — $0.4805
  • Newfoundland and Labrador — $0.4905
  • Northwest Territories — $0.5145
• The order takes effect on April 19, 2026.

Who's affected#

• Egg producers in the provinces and the Northwest Territories listed above.
• The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, which collects these levies and runs the marketing plan.
• It is unclear from the notice whether any other groups (for example, processors or retailers) are directly required to pay these levies.

Why it matters#

• These rates determine how much egg producers must pay into the federal marketing system.
• That changes producers’ costs and the amount of money available to the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency for marketing and related activities.
• The notice does not specify the unit the levy applies to (for example, per dozen eggs), so the practical per-unit impact is not stated in the Gazette item.
