Vaccine Egg Quotas for 2020–2021

Summary#

This is a final regulation (SOR/2020-295) that amends the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986. It replaces the heading of Schedule 2 to set vaccine quota limits for the period December 27, 2020 to December 25, 2021, and it came into force on December 27, 2020. The notice says it establishes the number of dozens of eggs allowed for vaccine quotas in Ontario and Quebec, but the specific counts are not shown in the published text.

What it does#

• Replaces the heading of Schedule 2 of the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986 with wording that sets the limits for vaccine quotas for the period December 27, 2020 to December 25, 2021.
• Says it establishes how many dozens of eggs producers in Ontario and Quebec may market under vaccine quotas during that period.
• Comes into force on December 27, 2020.

Note: the short Gazette item does not reproduce the actual dozen‑counts in the schedule, only the new heading and the effective date.

Who's affected#

• Egg producers who supply eggs for vaccine production in Ontario and Quebec.
• Potentially vaccine manufacturers and processors who rely on eggs, because quota limits affect the available supply.
• The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, which sets and administers these quotas.

If you want the exact quotas (the number of dozens), those figures are not shown in this notice and would need to be checked in the full Schedule 2 text or with the Agency.

Why it matters#

• It sets how many eggs can be sold specifically for vaccine production for a one‑year period.
• That limit can affect farm income for producers who sell eggs under the vaccine quota and can influence supply planning for vaccine makers.
• Because this is a one‑year quota period, producers and buyers may need to adjust production or purchasing plans to match the allowed amounts.
