Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

The levy that egg producers must pay on each dozen of eggs sold in interprovincial or export trade has been increased in every jurisdiction except Ontario. Increases range from roughly $0.059 to $0.090 per dozen depending on the province or territory. Ontario's levy remains at $0.4455 per dozen, while rates in the other provinces now range from $0.4805 (Quebec and Nova Scotia) to $0.5320 (Saskatchewan). Grading station operators, who are required to deduct these levies from amounts owed to producers, will need to apply the new rates. Producers and grading station operators should update their accounting and remittance processes to reflect the revised amounts.
