Egg producer levy rates by province

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Canadian Egg Marketing Levies Order (SOR/2020-291). It sets the levy rates that egg producers must pay to the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency for the period that ends on March 26, 2022. The order comes into force on February 21, 2021.

What it does#

• Sets the levy rate producers must pay in each province and the Northwest Territories for the period ending March 26, 2022:
  • Ontario: $0.4545
  • Quebec: $0.4595
  • Nova Scotia: $0.4685
  • New Brunswick: $0.4850
  • Manitoba: $0.4695
  • British Columbia: $0.5126
  • Prince Edward Island: $0.4585
  • Saskatchewan: $0.5110
  • Alberta: $0.5264
  • Newfoundland and Labrador: $0.4645
  • Northwest Territories: $0.4935
• The section with these rates stops applying on March 26, 2022.
• The order took effect on February 21, 2021.

Who's affected#

• Egg producers in the provinces and the Northwest Territories listed above — they must pay the new levy rates.
• The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, because it collects these levies.
• It is unclear from the text whether processors, retailers, or consumers are directly affected; the order only specifies producer levies.

Why it matters#

• These numbers change how much egg producers must pay to the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency during the specified period.
• Even small per-unit levies can add to farm operating costs and influence producer decisions.
• The change is time-limited: it applies from February 21, 2021 until March 26, 2022.
