Summary
Summary#
These are final regulations called Regulations Amending the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986 that set how many dozens of eggs each province may market under federal quotas for the year-long period beginning December 29, 2024 and ending December 27, 2025. The change replaces the previous Schedule 1 and came into force on April 20, 2025.
What it does#
- Replaces Schedule 1 to the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986 with new limits of dozens of eggs that can be marketed under federal quotas for the period December 29, 2024 to December 27, 2025.
- Lists the per-province federal quota limits (number of dozens of eggs):
- Ontario: 345,393,574
- Quebec: 194,947,903
- Nova Scotia: 27,449,670
- New Brunswick: 18,287,325
- Manitoba: 80,225,485
- British Columbia: 121,024,112
- Prince Edward Island: 4,558,555
- Saskatchewan: 43,905,997
- Alberta: 103,885,858
- Newfoundland and Labrador: 12,305,936
- Northwest Territories: 4,020,038
- The regulations were registered on April 24, 2025 and came into force on April 20, 2025.
Who's affected#
- Egg producers who market eggs under the federal quota system.
- Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, which administers and enforces these quotas.
- Provincial marketing boards or agencies and businesses that buy quota eggs (packers, some processors) may notice changes in supply or allocation.
- It is not clear from the regulation whether any other groups are directly affected.
Why it matters#
- These numbers set how many eggs can be legally marketed under federal quotas in each province during the specified period.
- For producers, the limits affect how much they can sell under quota and can influence income tied to quota-held production.
- For supply chains, the quotas shape the volume of federally marketed eggs available for packing and sale across provinces.
- The change is a routine quota update by the federal marketing agency rather than a new policy direction explained in the text.
