Limitation on turkey egg producers 3(2) No person who has been allotted a quota under the Breeder/Mature Program of the Board may be allotted a new base or is eligible to be allotted a basic quota, a new base or a market allotment by the Board for another category of turkey. M.R. 113/2016 Facility requirement 4(1) Subject to section 5, each applicant for allotment of a quota and an allotment must be the registered owner or the sole operator of a facility that meets all of the requirements or standards for buildings and equipment established by the Board from time to time. 4(2) [Repealed] M.R. 113/2016 M.R. 113/2016 Conditional allotment 5 The Board may allot a quota and an allotment conditional upon the acquisition of a facility within a specified period of time. Allocation to new entrants 6(1) Any waiting list established by the Board prior to January 1, 2008 shall cease to have effect on July 31, 2010. 6(2) Commencing August 1, 2010, from time to time the Board may select an individual or a Hutterite Colony to become a registered producer and may offer to allot a quota for a category of turkey to such person. In selecting such persons the Board may establish a system for receiving applications from such persons and a method of selecting such persons from amongst the applicants. Each application shall be in writing in a form prescribed by the Board, must be signed by the applicant and accompanied by the processing fees established by the Board, and must be forwarded to the head office of the Board. In the event the Board offers to allot a quota, a basic allotment, a new base, and a market allotment for a category of turkey to a person and such person does not accept the terms and conditions proposed by the Board in making such offer within the time specified by the Board, or in the event a person fails to comply with any term or condition established by the Board in making such offer or allotment to the person, the Board may withdraw such offer and allotment. No individual and no Hutterite Colony shall be eligible to be selected for an allocation under this section if that individual or that Colony is or at any time has been a registered producer or has had an interest, direct or indirect in a registered producer. For the purpose of this provision any person who is or was a partner or a shareholder of an entity that is or was a registered producer at a point in time shall be deemed to have an interest in that registered producer at that time. The fact that (a) the parent of an individual is or at any time has been a registered producer or has had an interest, direct or indirect in a registered producer; and (b) a Hutterite Colony was established from the membership of a Hutterite Colony which is or at any time has been a registered producer or has had an interest, direct or indirect in a registered producer; shall not in itself disqualify an individual or a Colony from being eligible to be selected under this section. Establishment of basic allotments and new bases 7 Subject to the provisions of this Order, as of January 30, 2008 each registered producer shall be entitled to (a) a basic allotment and to a new base for each category of turkey (other than turkey marketed under any Breeder/Mature Program of the Board) equal to the number of kilograms of turkey shown under the column for same opposite such producer's name for that category on the Basic Allotment/New Base List; and (b) a basic allotment for turkeys marketed under any Breeder/Mature Program of the Board equal to the number of kilograms of turkey shown under the column for same opposite such producer's name for that category on the Basic Allotment/New Base List. Allocation of market allotment from time to time 8 Subject to the provisions of this Order, each registered producer shall be allotted a market allotment for each category of turkey for which such producer has been allotted a basic allotment. Calculation of market allotment (commercial) 9 A registered producer's market allotment for each category of turkey for which such producer has been allotted a basic allotment [other than for turkeys marketed under any Breeder/Mature Program of the Board and except as otherwise provided in section 10] shall be calculated from time to time as follows: (a) if the anticipated market demand for turkey produced in Manitoba during any marketing year is more than the Aggregate Provincial Basic Allotment (such difference called the "Shortfall"), but less than the Aggregate Provincial New Base, the market allotment allotted to each registered producer for each category shall be equal to that producer's basic allotment for that category together with a pro rata share of the Shortfall based on their allotment of the Aggregate Provincial Basic Allotment, subject to the provisions of section 11 hereof, so that the anticipated market requirements for turkey during that marketing year are met; provided, however, that the Board may issue Temporary Market Allotment Permits in circumstances outlined in section 16 to registered producers for a marketing period; (b) if the anticipated market demand for turkey produced in Manitoba during any marketing year is equal to the Aggregate Provincial Basic Allotment, the market allotment allotted to each registered producer for a category shall be equal to such producer's basic allotment for that category; (c) if the anticipated market for turkey produced in Manitoba during any marketing year is less than the Aggregate Provincial Basic Allotment, the market allotment allotted to each registered producer for each category shall be determined by the Board in such manner that all registered producers share, as nearly as possible, a pro rata reduction from the market allotment they would have received under clause (b), so that the anticipated market requirements for turkey during that marketing year ought not to be exceeded. M.R. 114/2024 Calculation of market allotment (breeder/mature program) 10 A registered producer's market allotment for turkeys marketed under any Breeder/Mature Program of the Board shall be equal to such producer's basic allotment for that category provided that the Board may issue a Temporary Market Allotment Permit in the circumstances outlined in section 16 to such a registered producer to facilitate the marketing of additional turkeys under the Breeder/Mature Program of the Board for a marketing period. M.R. 113/2016 Market allotment not to exceed new base or maximum allotment 11 Notwithstanding anything set out in sections 9 and 10; (a) a market allotment allocated to a registered producer for a category shall not exceed the new base of that producer for that category; and (b) the aggregate market allotments allotted to a registered producer shall not exceed maximum allotment; provided that if the Board has determined an extra-provincial amount for a registered producer prior to December 31, 1999, the limitation in (b) shall not apply to such registered producer, but such registered producer shall not be entitled to an increase in the basic allotments allotted to such producer or to the allotment of market allotments in excess of the basic allotments allotted to that producer if as a result of such increase the basic allotments allotted to that producer, when taken together with the extra-provincial amount determined for that producer, exceeds 1,000,000 kilograms. M.R. 114/2025 Marketing periods 12 The marketing period of each registered producer during any marketing year may be specified by the Board. A registered producer may apply to the Board from time to time for a change in any such marketing period. Any such application should indicate the processing facility to which the producer intends to market the turkey to be marketed during such marketing period. Limitation on marketing quotas 13 No producer is entitled to be allotted a marketing quota in any marketing year that would be in excess of the market allotment allotted to such producer, less any quantity of turkey marketed by such producer in interprovincial or export trade in any marketing year. Determination of production quotas 14(1) The production quota of a registered producer other than a Turkey Egg Producer in each marketing period for each category of turkey for which that producer has been allotted a market allotment shall be equal to the number of turkey determined (a) for broilers, by dividing the periodic market allotment allotted to that producer for broilers for that marketing period by 5.75; (b) for hens, by dividing the periodic market allotment allotted to that producer for hens for that marketing period by 7.5; (c) for toms, by dividing the periodic market allotment allotted to that producer for toms for that marketing period by 11.5; and (d) for heavy toms, by dividing the periodic market allotment allotted to that producer for heavy toms for that marketing period by 13.3. 14(2) The production quota of a registered Turkey Egg Producer in each marketing year shall be equal to the number of turkey determined by the Board for that marketing year.

M.R. 68/2011 Temporary market allotment permits 16 The Board may issue Temporary Market Allotment Permits to registered producers: (a) if the Board is of the opinion that the Shortfall referred to in clause 9(a) is temporary in nature; (b) if the Board is of the opinion that special marketing circumstances exist whereby a particular type of turkey is required by the market or whereby turkey is required at any particular time of the year and cannot be filled in the manner set out in section 9; (c) to facilitate the marketing of mature turkeys by registered producers who are Turkey Egg Producers, as a result of the participation of the Board in the Multiplier Breeder Policy of Turkey Farmers of Canada; (d) to facilitate the marketing of turkey by registered producers to replace turkey produced, processed and exported from Canada pursuant to any planned processed export program operated by the Board; or (e) to authorize the marketing of at least 44,460 kilograms of hen, broiler, or tom turkey by a registered producer who has been allotted a basic allotment of less than 60,000 kilograms of hen, broiler, or tom turkey (unless such registered producer has been allotted a basic allotment under any Breeder/Mature Program of the Board). M.R. 68/2011 ; 113/2016 Temporary production permits 16.1 The Board may issue temporary production permits to registered producers: (a) to facilitate the raising and keeping of turkey by registered producers to be marketed pursuant to a Temporary Market Allotment Permit; or (b) to facilitate the raising and keeping of turkey by registered producers to replace turkey to be exported from Canada in live form pursuant to any planned production for live export program operated by the Board. M.R. 68/2011 Permits for research 17 The Board may issue temporary production permits and Temporary Market Allotment Permits to a non-registered person to permit the production and marketing of turkey raised for research purposes provided that (a) the Board is satisfied that such turkey will be raised and marketed under conditions satisfactory to the Board; and (b) satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to the payment of any penalties in connection with any activities of the applicant which may be inconsistent with the terms and conditions established by the Board in issuing a temporary permit to the applicant. M.R. 68/2011 Manner of allotting permits 18 The Board will allot temporary permits in such manner as it feels is in the best interests of the turkey industry in Manitoba. M.R. 68/2011 Permit marketings not to be included 19 Turkey marketed pursuant to a Temporary Market Allotment Permit will not be counted as part of a producer's marketing in any marketing period for the purpose of this Order. M.R. 68/2011 PART IV CATEGORY CONVERSIONS Application for category conversions 20 A registered producer may apply to the Board from time to time to have all or a portion of the basic allotments and new bases allotted to such producer changed from one category of turkey to another category, either on a temporary or on a permanent basis. Consideration of application 21 All requests received by the Board to have all or a portion of the basic allotments and new bases allotted to a producer changed from one category of turkey to another category of turkey shall be considered by the Board on an individual basis. No changes will be approved by the Board unless the Board is of the opinion that market conditions warrant such change. 22 [Repealed] M.R. 113/2016 Basis for conversion from breeders 23(1) This section is only applicable to a person who was a Turkey Egg Producer on April 30, 2007. 23(2) A registered producer who is a Turkey Egg Producer and who wishes to retire from the turkey egg production business and to utilize such producer's existing turkey egg production facilities to raise another category of turkey may apply to the Board to have the basic allotment allotted to such producer under the Breeder/Mature Program of the Board (in this section referred to as "Breeder Quota") permanently changed to basic allotment and new base for another category of turkey, on the following basis: (a) with respect to such basic allotment which resulted from a change under section 22, application may be made to convert back to the original category on a kilogram for kilogram basis; (b) with respect to such amount of the basic allotment which has been allotted to such applicant for over five consecutive years but less than 15 consecutive years, application may be made to convert on a kilogram for kilogram basis; (c) with respect to such amount of the basic allotment which has been allotted to such applicant for 15 consecutive years or over but less than 20 consecutive years, application may be made to convert on a one kilogram of Breeder Quota for 1.75 kilograms of alternate category basis; (d) with respect to such amount of the basic allotment which has been allotted to such applicant for 20 consecutive years or over, application may be made to convert on a one kilogram of Breeder Quota for 2.5 kilograms of alternate category basis; provided however that (e) under no circumstances will the Board consider granting an application under this section if, as a result of the granting of such application, the aggregate of all basic allotments under the Breeder/Mature Program of the Board would fall below 305,550 kilograms; (f) the Board reserves the right to specify an alternate category of turkey for which the Breeder Quota may be converted, depending on market demand; (g) the basic allotment and new base for the alternate category of turkey will not be allotted until the Board is satisfied that the applicant has ceased all activities associated with and involvement in the turkey egg production business; and (h) in the event the applicant or anyone associated with the applicant becomes directly or indirectly involved in the turkey egg production business within a period of five years following a conversion granted under clause (c) or (d), the basic allotment and new base resulting from the conversion will be reduced to an amount equal to a kilogram-for-kilogram basis, even if such basic allotment and new base has been subsequently reallotted from the applicant to another person; and further provided that in determining if an amount of a basic allotment has been allotted to an applicant for a period of time under clause (b), (c) or (d), the Board will treat the period of time during which the basic allotment was allotted to a producer prior to the reallotment of such basic allotment by that producer to a family corporation, a family partnership, or a member of that producer's immediate family as if such basic allotment had been allotted to the applicant. The applicant will be required to give to the Board a written undertaking, in a form satisfactory to the Board, that the applicant will not apply (i) for a retirement payment under the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation System, (ii) for the approval of a change in the beneficial ownership of the registered producer pursuant to Part X, (iii) for the approval of an association of the registered producer with another registered producer pursuant to Part XI, (iv) for the reallotment of the quotas and allotments allotted to the registered producer pursuant to Part XII, or (v) to relocate the facilities of the registered producer under section 76, for a minimum of five years following such waiver unless the applicant has first received the approval of the Manitoba Council to do so. In dealing with the conversion of Breeder Quota to another category of turkey, or in reducing a basic allotment and new base under clause (h), the new base of a producer receiving an allotment or incurring a reduction shall be increased or reduced by the same number of kilograms that the basic allotment of such producer is increased or reduced. M.R. 113/2016 PART V EXCESS MARKETINGS AND UNDER MARKETINGS Reduction of market allotment for excess marketings 24 Where a producer has marketed turkey of a category during a marketing year in excess of the market allotment for that category allotted to that producer for that marketing year, the market allotment allotted to that producer for that category shall be reduced by a quantity of turkey equal to such excess in the subsequent marketing year; provided however that if such producer has marketed turkey of a category in excess of the market allotments allotted to such producer for that category for two consecutive marketing years, such producer's market allotment for that category in the subsequent marketing year shall be reduced by a quantity of turkey equal to two times the excess marketed in the second such marketing year. Reduction of periodic market allotment for excess marketings 25 Where a producer has marketed turkey of a category in excess of the periodic market allotment for that category allotted to that producer for any marketing period, the periodic market allotment allotted to that producer for that category in a subsequent marketing period may be reduced by a quantity of turkey equal to such excess. Reduction of basic allotment and new base for under marketings 26 Where a producer fails to market a total quantity of any category of turkey equal to the market allotment of that producer for that category in any marketing year, the basic allotment of that producer shall be reduced to the greatest number of actual kilograms of turkey of that category marketed by that producer in that marketing year, and the new base of that producer shall be reduced by an amount equal to the reduction in basic allotment, provided that such reduction will not apply to any producer (a) where the Board is satisfied that such producer placed a sufficient number of the appropriate turkey poults that ought to have enabled such producer to market such producer's full market allotment of turkey of that category; (b) who can satisfy the Board within a reasonable period of time after the end of any marketing year that such producer was unable to market the full market allotment of turkey of that category because such producer's facility was lost due to fire or other causes beyond such producer's control, or because such producer's turkeys were subject to disease (as verified by a qualified veterinarian), or because such producer's turkeys were lost due to adverse weather conditions, or because major repairs and/or renovations to such producer's facility resulted in the temporary curtailment of production (provided an application has been received at least three months in advance of the commencement of such major repairs and/or renovations being relied upon), or because of suffocation of such producer's turkeys (verified by a veterinarian certificate), or because of a lack of replacement poults, or because of the serious illness or death of the producer; or (c) who has otherwise obtained permission from the Board in writing to reduce such producer's marketings for a period of time, subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may establish at the time such permission is granted. PART VI OTHER REDUCTION OR CANCELLATION OF QUOTAS AND ALLOTMENTS Cancellation of quota and allotments on death, winding up, etc. 27 The Board may cancel the quotas and allotments allotted to a registered producer in the event of the death of the registered producer, the winding up or dissolution of a registered producer that is a corporation, or the dissolution of a registered producer that is a partnership.

Exception for grandfathered operations in excess of maximum allotment 43(1) Notwithstanding section 42, the Board may (a) approve the reallotment of a quota and allotment in excess of maximum allotment to a person who does not have a direct or indirect interest in a quota or allotment at the time of such reallotment; and (b) suspend the provisions of section 48 if the proposed new beneficial or legal owner does not have a direct or indirect interest in a registered producer at the time of the transfer of the beneficial or legal ownership to such proposed new owner. Exception for shareholders 43(2) Notwithstanding section 42, the Board may approve a person having a direct or indirect interest in allotments or quotas which aggregate in excess of maximum allotment by deeming a shareholder to have a direct or indirect interest in allotments or quotas equal to the allotments or quotas allotted to a registered producer which is a corporation multiplied by the percentage of voting shares issued to that shareholder. Exception for financial assistance to children 44 Notwithstanding section 42, the Board may approve the provision of financial assistance by a registered producer to one or more children of the registered producer or of a shareholder of a registered producer, or of a partner of a registered producer for the purpose of enabling such child or children to acquire facilities and to become a registered producer. Any such approval will be subject to the applicants' satisfying the Board that (a) the turkey production business of the child or children will be completely separate from and independent of the turkey production business of such registered producer (i.e. the businesses will be carried on separate parcels of land, in separate facilities; there will be no sharing on a day-to-day basis of labour; there will be no commingling of supplies or feed; there will be no mutual ownership of any assets used in the businesses; there will be no sharing of profits or losses; the parties keep and maintain separate financial statements and file income tax returns as separate entities); and (b) such financial assistance is unsecured, directly or indirectly, with respect to the facilities and turkeys owned by the child or children; and (c) the turkey production business to be carried on by the child or children of the registered producer will operate completely independent of the parent. The applicants shall provide the Board with an Undertaking in a form acceptable to the Board with respect to the matters set out in clauses (a) to (c) above. Step-transactions prohibited 45 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Order, the Board will take appropriate action to prevent a person from acquiring control of, or acquiring a direct or indirect interest in allotments or quotas through a process (a) that involves more than one application to the Board; or (b) that does not disclose to the Board, in conjunction with an application to the Board for any reallotment of an allotment or quota, particulars of all contemplated or proposed future transactions which may involve (i) a subsequent reallotment of an allotment or quota, (ii) a future change in the legal or beneficial ownership of an entity, or (iii) an application to transfer an allotment or a quota from one facility to another facility. PART X CHANGES IN BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF REGISTERED PRODUCERS Special definitions 46 In this Part, "controlling party" means a person who directly or indirectly is the legal or beneficial owner of an aggregate of more than 50% of any class of the issued shares of, assets of, or interest in an entity; "entity" includes an association, partnership, body corporate, trust or other organization; "substantial holder" means a person who directly or indirectly is the legal or beneficial owner of an aggregate of 10% or more of any class of the issued shares of, assets of, or interest in an entity; "transfer" includes a sale, assignment, gift, bequest, devolution, purchase, mortgage, declaration of trust, or change in legal or beneficial rights.

Grounds for non-waiver 48 Subject to section 43, the provisions of section 47 will not be waived by the Board if the Board has reasonable grounds for believing that as a result of such transfer a person would have a direct or indirect interest in allotments which aggregate in excess of maximum allotment. Bankruptcy or receivership of a controlling party 49 In the event a controlling party in an entity that is a registered producer becomes bankrupt or applies for a receiving order or has a receiving order made against it or takes the benefit of any Act for the time being in force for the relief of insolvent debtors, or if a receiver is appointed with respect to any interest of the controlling party in such registered producer, the Board may cancel or reduce the quotas and allotments of such registered producer unless the registered producer requests in writing that the Board waive this provision and provides the Board, by Statutory Declaration and Certificate in a form acceptable to the Board, with full particulars of such happening and the Board has in its discretion waived this provision either conditionally or unconditionally, provided however that the Board will only waive such provision on a temporary basis, and on terms and conditions, in order to allow the Trustee in Bankruptcy or Receiver reasonable time to dispose of such interest in the controlling party. False or misleading information 50 In the event that the Board has reasonable grounds for believing that any information provided to it by Statutory Declaration or Certificate is false or misleading, or that any conditions established by the Board in waiving the provisions of section 47 or section 49 have not been met by the parties, the Board may cancel or reduce the quota and allotment of the registered producer whether or not the provisions of section 47 or section 49 have been previously waived by the Board.

M.R. 18/2013 PART XI ASSOCIATION OF REGISTERED PRODUCERS Deemed association 52 In this Part, a person is deemed to be associated with another person if (a) one person is an entity of which the other person is an officer, director or substantial holder; (b) one person is an entity of which the other person is a partner; (c) one person is an entity that is controlled, directly or indirectly, by the other person; (d) both persons are entities and one entity is controlled, directly or indirectly, by the same individual or entity that controls, directly or indirectly, the other person; (e) both persons are members of a voting trust where the trust controls or operates or has an interest in the other person; or (f) both persons are associated within the meanings of clauses (a) to (e) with the same person. A person will not be deemed to be associated with another person merely as a result of such persons being members of a cooperative provided the cooperative has at least ten (10) active members. Sharing between producers 53 Notwithstanding section 26 of the Plan, the following activities by registered producers will not in themselves result in the type of treatment set out in that section: (a) the ownership or use of equipment not normally utilized on a day-to-day basis in a facility; (b) the ownership or use of a brooding facility to raise turkeys under the age of eight weeks; (c) the investment in or ownership of feed manufacturing facilities or businesses; (d) the formation of a purchasing group by which a registered producer may acquire supplies or equipment for use in the production or marketing of turkeys. Association of registered producers 54(1) In the event that a registered producer becomes associated with another registered producer, the Board may cancel or reduce the quotas and allotments of such registered producers unless the registered producers have requested in writing that the Board waive this provision and have each provided the Board, by Statutory Declaration and Certificate, with full particulars of all persons having a direct or indirect interest in such registered producers and the Board has in its discretion waived this provision either conditionally or unconditionally. 54(2) The registered producers will each be required to provide to the Board a written undertaking, in a form satisfactory to the Board, stating that such party will not apply (a) for a retirement payment under the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program; (b) for the approval of a change in the beneficial ownership of the registered producer pursuant to Part X; (c) for the approval of an association of the registered producer with another registered producer pursuant to Part XI; (d) for the reallotment of the quotas and allotments allotted to the registered producer pursuant to Part XII; or (e) to relocate the facilities of the registered producer under section 76; for a minimum of five years following such waiver unless such party has first received the approval of the Manitoba Council to such application. Grounds for non-waiver 55 The provisions of section 54 will not be waived by the Board if the Board has reasonable grounds for believing that as a result of such association a person would have a direct or indirect interest in allotments or quotas which aggregate in excess of maximum allotment. False or misleading information 56 In the event that the Board has reasonable grounds for believing that any information provided to it by Statutory Declaration or Certificate is false or misleading, or that any conditions established by the Board in waiving the provisions of section 54 have not been met by the parties, the Board may cancel or reduce the quotas and allotments of the registered producers whether or not the provisions of section 54 have been previously waived by the Board. PART XII REALLOTMENT OF QUOTA AND ALLOTMENT Complete farm sales 57 In the event a registered producer sells the land, buildings, structures, and equipment used by such producer in producing turkeys, the Board may reallot the quotas and allotments used in association with such facility to any purchaser provided it is satisfied that no value has been attributed to such quotas and allotments and that no more than fair market value has been paid for such facility. In applying this provision the Board may require an appraisal of the facility by a qualified appraiser to ascertain the fair market value of the facility using an appraisal method or methods approved by the Manitoba Council, such costs to be borne by the vendor. The applicants will each be required to provide a Statutory Declaration in a form acceptable to the Board confirming the sale and purchase consideration (both direct and indirect). All agreements between the registered producer and the purchaser (including a detailed listing of all assets included in such sale) shall be appended to such Statutory Declaration. In the event that the Board has reasonable grounds for believing that any information provided in such Statutory Declaration or any requested Certificate is false or misleading, the Board may cancel or reduce the quotas and allotments in question, whether or not such quotas and allotments were reallotted. The purchaser will be required to provide to the Board a written undertaking, in a form satisfactory to the Board, stating that the purchaser will not apply (a) for a retirement payment under the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program; (b) for the approval of a change in the beneficial ownership of the registered producer pursuant to Part X; (c) for the approval of an association of the registered producer with another registered producer pursuant to Part XI; (d) for the reallotment of the quotas and allotments allotted to the registered producer pursuant to Part XII; or (e) to relocate the facilities of the registered producer under section 76; for a minimum of five years following such reallotment unless such party has first received the approval of the Manitoba Council to such application. Sale of moveable buildings and equipment 58(1) In the event a registered producer sells a building used by such producer in producing turkeys, the Board may reallot the quotas and allotments used in association with such building (and any equipment included in such sale) to such purchaser provided it is satisfied that (a) the condition of such building allows for the moving of the building to a new foundation on property owned by the purchaser; (b) the condition of such building and any such equipment included in such sale is such that same is capable of being used for a minimum period of five years after relocation and installation on the new foundation; (c) no more than fair market value has been paid for such building and equipment; and (d) written consent is provided by all creditors of the registered producer who have been granted security with respect to such building (and any equipment included in the sale). 58(2) In applying this section the Board may require an appraisal of the building and equipment by a qualified appraiser to ascertain the fair market value of the building and such equipment using an appraisal method or methods approved by the Manitoba Council, such costs to be borne by the vendor. In ascertaining whether no more than fair market value has been paid for the building and such equipment, the costs of removing such building and equipment and relocating same on a new foundation on property owned by the purchaser shall be borne by the purchaser and shall be deducted from the appraised value of such building and equipment. 58(3) The applicants will each be required to provide a Statutory Declaration in a form acceptable to the Board confirming the sale and purchase consideration (both direct and indirect) and any of the matters set out above. All agreements between the registered producer and the purchaser (including a detailed listing of all assets included in such sale) shall be appended to such Statutory Declaration. In the event that the Board has reasonable grounds for believing that any information provided in such Statutory Declaration or any requested Certificate is false or misleading, the Board may cancel or reduce the quotas and allotments in question, whether or not such quotas and allotments were reallotted. 58(4) The purchaser will be required to provide to the Board a written undertaking, in a form satisfactory to the Board, stating that the purchaser will not apply (a) for a retirement payment under the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program; (b) for the approval of a change in the beneficial ownership of the registered producer pursuant to Part X; (c) for the approval of an association of the registered producer with another registered producer pursuant to Part XI; (d) for the reallotment of the quotas and allotments allotted to the registered producer pursuant to Part XII; or (e) to relocate the facilities of the registered producer under section 76; for a minimum of five years following such reallotment unless such party has first received the approval of the Manitoba Council to such application. 58(5) The purchaser will be required to give to the Board a written undertaking, in a form satisfactory to the Board, verifying that the purchaser will use such building and equipment in connection with the reallotted quotas and allotments for the balance of the estimated useful life of such building and equipment after relocation and installation of such building and equipment on such new foundation. Lease of complete farm 59 In the event a registered producer leases or licenses the land, buildings, structures, and equipment used by such producer in producing turkeys, for a term not to exceed two years in length, the Board may temporarily reallot the quotas and allotments used in association with such land, buildings, structures, and equipment to any lessee or licensee for the term of the lease or license provided it is satisfied that no value has been attributed to such quotas and allotments and that no more than fair market rental for such facility is being paid under the lease or license arrangement directly or indirectly for the lease of such facility, or any other assets included in such lease (including any transaction with respect to turkeys). In applying this provision the Board may require an appraisal of the facility to ascertain the fair market rental of the facility using an appraisal method or methods approved by the Manitoba Council, such cost to be borne by the lessor. The applicants will each be required to provide a Statutory Declaration in a form acceptable to the Board confirming the rental consideration (both direct and indirect). All agreements between the registered producer and the lessee (including a detailed listing of all assets included in such lease) shall be appended to such Statutory Declaration. In the event that the Board has reasonable grounds for believing that any information provided in a Statutory Declaration or any requested Certificate is false or misleading, the Board may reduce or cancel the quotas and allotments in question, whether or not the quotas and allotments were temporarily reallotted. At the end of the lease or license term such quotas and allotments shall automatically be reallotted by the Board back to the lessor or licensor. Any extension or renewal of a term under a lease or license will be treated as a new lease or license. Definitions 60 The following definitions apply in sections 60.1 to 60.5.

The Bid must include (a) the name, address and signature of the bidder; (b) the Producer Registration Number of the bidder; (c) the number of quota units requested for allotment; (d) the category of the quota units requested; (e) the administration fee which shall be equal to the retirement payment set out in the notice referred to in subsection 7(5), which the bidder is willing to pay upon allotment of the quota units requested for allotment; (f) an acknowledgement that the bidder is prepared to accept less than the number of quota units comprising the Bid; (g) an acknowledgement that the Bid will not be valid if the number of quota units requested when taken together with the number of quota units comprising the bidder's basic allotment exceeds maximum allotment. 7(6.1) In order for a Bid to be eligible to be processed on a Program, the bidder must submit a separate bank draft or credit union primary order (or other method of payment acceptable to the Designated Staff) payable to the Board representing the full amount of the administration fee such bidder proposes to pay in connection with that Bid which must be received by the Board no later than 4:00 p.m. of the last working day before the month in which the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program is to be held. 7(7) In the case of an omission or defect in a Bid or in an Offer the Designated Staff may not make changes or additions to such Bid or Offer, and the Bid or Offer will be rejected.

A member of the Designated Staff shall attempt to contact the bidder or offeror and to advise him/her of such rejection. The fact that a Bid or an Offer is rejected shall not preclude the bidder or offeror from submitting a subsequent Bid or Offer. Any Bid submitted by a Turkey Egg Producer must specify that in the event the Bid is successful the quota units allotted to the bidder will be allotted as a basic allotment under the Breeder/Mature Program of the Board. 7(8) A bidder may amend or withdraw their Bid by submitting a request to the Board no later than 4:00 p.m. on the last working day before the month in which the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program is to be held. The request must (a) be clear and unambiguous; (b) be submitted in the form and manner specified by the Designated Staff, and include the bidder's name and Producer Registration Number; and (c) specify the Bid to be withdrawn or amended. Any Bid which is received after any deadline for submission for that Program will be rejected by the Designated Staff. No Bid shall be processed if the number of quota units comprising the Bid, when aggregated with the quota units allocated to such bidder, would exceed maximum allotment. 7(9) As provided in section 69 of this Order, the Designated Staff may refuse to accept or may postpone processing of any Bid or any Offer. Any decision to postpone the processing of a Bid or an Offer, or to reject a Bid or Offer made by the Designated Staff shall be final. The Designated Staff may also establish terms and conditions before a Bid or an Offer will be processed in the future. Any person who is not satisfied with the terms and conditions established by the Designated Staff before a Bid or Offer will be processed in the future may appeal such decision in writing to the Board. 7(10) On each Reallocation Day, the Designated Staff shall qualify all valid Bids. All valid Bids shall be determined to be acceptable up to an amount calculated on 50% pro rata share and 50% equal share for each registered producer and set out in the notice sent to registered producers under subsection 7(5). In the event the Bids determined to be acceptable as set out above aggregate less than the number of quota units offered for cancellation, the Designated Staff shall apportion such Shortfall amongst the bidders who submitted valid Bids for more than their initial portion calculated above and set out in the subsection 7(5) notice, apportioning among all such bidders an equal share of such Shortfall or such lesser amount as may be set out in such bidder's Bid, and such additional amounts shall be determined as acceptable. In the event the aggregate of all quota units bid in the valid Bids determined as acceptable under this subsection is less than the number of quota units comprising the Offer (the "Excess"), the following procedure will apply: (a) if the Excess is 60,000 quota units or more, the Designated Staff may contact the persons on the waiting list established pursuant to section 6 of this Order and offer a person, in the order such persons appear on such list, the opportunity to submit a Bid for 60,000 quota units. In the event a person contacted by the Designated Staff agrees to submit a Bid for 60,000 quota units, such Bid must be delivered to the Designated Staff in writing together with a separate bank draft or credit union primary order (or other method of payment acceptable to the Designated Staff) payable to the Board representing the full amount of the administration fee to be paid by such person in connection with such Bid, which items must be received by the Board no later than 4:00 p.m. of the working day following the working day on which such person was first contacted by the Designated Staff. The Designated Staff may treat any such Bid as a valid Bid; (b) if no person described in clause (a) submits a valid Bid, in the manner set out in clause (a), or if the Excess is less than 60,000 quota units, the Designated Staff may contact the offeror to see if the offeror is prepared to reduce the number of quota units offered for cancellation in the Offer to the number of quota units requested for reallotment in the valid Bids. Any such agreement by the offeror to reduce the number of quota units offered for cancellation must be communicated in the manner and within the period required by the Designated Staff. The Designated Staff may aggregate offers that have identical administrative fees. If the aggregate number of quota units contained in the valid Bids determined as acceptable under this subsection exceeds the number of quota units offered for cancellation in the Offer (the "Shortfall") and the Designated Staff is in receipt of an Offer for an identical retirement allowance, the Designated Staff may allow the offeror to include their Offer in the current Program to the extent of the Shortfall, but the offeror must communicate their agreement to the Designated Staff in the manner and within the period required by the Designated Staff to participate in the Program. 7(11) Following the operation of a Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program, the Designated Staff shall report to the Board particulars of the Offer, the retirement payment requested by the offeror, the number of Bids received, and particulars of the successful Bids. The Board will review such report and if satisfied, in its sole discretion, that there have been no irregularities or deficiencies in the operation of that Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program, the Board may pass a resolution to accept such results. Following the acceptance of the results of a Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program, the Board will pass a resolution to allot quota units and to increase the new bases of the successful bidders and to cancel quota units and to reduce the new bases of the successful offeror in order to implement such results. The new base of a successful bidder (unless the successful bidder is a Turkey Egg Producer) shall be increased by a quantity equal to the number of quota units to be allotted to that successful bidder, to a maximum of 1,000,000 quota units; and, if such a maximum is reached by a successful bidder, the remaining new base quota units will be divided on an equal share basis among the remaining successful bidders. The new base of a successful offer or shall be reduced by a quantity equal to the new base of that offeror for the category of quota units to be cancelled, divided by the greater of the basic allotment and market allotment of that offeror for that category, multiplied by the number of quota units to be cancelled. The cancellation of quota units allotted to a successful offeror will be effective: (a) with respect to a portion of the quota units comprising the successful Offer determined by the Board taking into account the marketings and expected marketings of the offeror during that marketing year, the last day of the month in which the results of the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program was accepted by the Board; and (b) with respect to the balance of the quota units comprising the successful Offer, the last day of April after the results of a Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program was accepted by the Board. The cancellation of the new base of a successful offeror will be effective on the last day of the month in which the results of the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program was accepted by the Board. The allotment of quota units to a successful bidder will be effective (a) with respect to a portion of the quota units comprising the successful Bid determined by the Board, the first day of the month following the month in which the results of the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program was accepted by the Board; and (b) with respect to the balance of the quota units comprising the successful Bid, the first day of May after the results of a Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program was accepted by the Board. The increase of the new base of a successful bidder will be effective at the same time, and in the same amounts, as the allotment of quota units to that successful bidder. 7(12) Following the Board's consideration of the results of a Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program, each participant in the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program will be notified by the Designated Staff whether such participant's Offer or Bid was successful, and if the Bid or Offer was successful, the effective date of the allotment or cancellation. In addition, each successful bidder will be notified of the category of the quota units allotted to such bidder. 7(13) All surplus funds submitted by successful bidders as proposed administration fees will be returned to such bidder. M.R. 113/2016 ; 31/2021 ; 114/2025 Limits on bids and offers 8 An Offer which would result in the remaining basic allotment allocated to that offeror being reduced to a level below 60,000 kilograms of hen, tom and broiler turkey will be rejected by the Designated Staff. Any offeror allotted a basic allotment of 60,000 kilograms of hen, tom and broiler turkey or less must offer to cancel all such quota units to be eligible to be an offeror on the Retirement and Basic Allotment Reallocation Program. Limitation re new producers 9 In the event a person is allotted a basic allotment and becomes a registered producer pursuant to the provisions of section 6 of this Order, such person shall not be entitled to submit an Offer which would result in the basic allotment allotted to such person being reduced below 60,000 kilograms of turkey for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of such allotment, and thereafter the general limitations set out in section 8 will continue to apply to such person. Retirement and Reallotment Fund 10(1) All administration fees paid to the Board by successful bidders will be allocated to the Retirement and Reallotment Fund. 10(2) All retirement payments made by the Board to successful offerors will be paid from the Retirement and Reallotment Fund.
