Broiler Hatching Egg Marketing Levies Amendment

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg Marketing Levies Order (registration SOR/2025-211). It sets specific levy amounts that apply when broiler hatching eggs are moved between provinces or exported. The order came into force on October 16, 2025.

What it does#

• Replaces paragraph 2(1)(d) of the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg Marketing Levies Order to set the levy in the Province of British Columbia at $0.020200 per broiler hatching egg.
• Replaces subsection 2(2) to set the levy on a producer, dealer or hatchery operator in a non-signatory province at $0.016568 per broiler hatching egg when those eggs are produced in a non-signatory province and marketed in interprovincial trade into a signatory province.
• The order was registered as SOR/2025-211 and came into force on October 16, 2025.

Who's affected#

• Broiler hatching egg producers in British Columbia who market eggs outside the province or export them.
• Producers, dealers and hatchery operators located in provinces described as “non-signatory” who ship eggs into signatory provinces.
• Processors, hatcheries and buyers in signatory provinces may be indirectly affected if levy costs are passed along.
• The source does not list which provinces are “signatory” or “non-signatory,” so it is not clear exactly which provinces fall into each category.

Why it matters#

• These levies are a per-egg cost added when eggs are sold across provinces or exported. That can change the cost of marketing hatching eggs and affect producer margins.
• For producers, even small per-egg levies can add up across large flocks and influence decisions about where to sell eggs.
• For hatcheries and poultry businesses, the changes may affect supply-chain costs and pricing for chicks or hatching eggs traded between provinces.
