Quebec Egg Levy Set at $0.5205

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Canadian Egg Marketing Levies Order: SOR/2025-144. It sets the levy rate that egg producers in the Province of Quebec must pay at $0.5205 and was registered on June 13, 2025, coming into force that day.

What it does#

• Replaces the rule for Quebec in the Canadian Egg Marketing Levies Order so that producers in the Province of Quebec are charged a levy of $0.5205.
• The order was registered on June 13, 2025, and takes effect on the day it was registered.
• The change was made by the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency under the Farm Products Agencies Act.

Who's affected#

• Primary: egg producers operating in the Province of Quebec.
• Secondary: the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, which collects and manages the levy.
• Others (unclear): processors, retailers, or consumers might notice indirect effects, but the order itself does not say how the levy will be applied to prices or production.

Why it matters#

• It fixes the exact dollar amount Quebec producers must remit to the egg marketing system: $0.5205.
• That affects farmers' costs and could influence their business decisions.
• The notice does not explain the unit of the levy (for example, whether it is per dozen eggs or another measure) or how the collected money will be used, so some practical details remain unclear.
