(période de référence) signatory provinces[Repealed, SOR/2013-255, s. 1] [Repealed, SOR/2016-292, s. 1] No producer, dealer or hatchery operator shall engage in the marketing of broiler hatching eggs or chicks produced in a non-signatory province in interprovincial trade into a signatory province unless that producer, dealer or hatchery operator holds an orderly marketing quota for that signatory province; and markets a number of broiler hatching eggs or chicks that is not in excess of the orderly marketing quota referred to in paragraph (a). Section 2 does not apply to a producer, dealer or hatchery operator where broiler hatching eggs produced in a non-signatory province are marketed by the producer, dealer or hatchery operator in a non-signatory province into a signatory province; a number of chicks, equivalent to 96% of the number of broiler hatching eggs referred to in paragraph (a), will be returned by the hatchery operator in the signatory province to the producer in the province in which the eggs were produced or to the dealer or hatchery operator from whom the eggs were received; the producer, dealer or hatchery operator in a non-signatory province applies for, and receives from the Agency, authorization to market a designated quantity of broiler hatching eggs; the producer, dealer or hatchery operator in a non- signatory province markets broiler hatching eggs only to the extent of the Agency authorization granted; and the broiler hatching eggs are marketed pursuant to a contract that is in the form provided by the Agency and that specifies the number of broiler hatching eggs to be marketed and the number of chicks to be returned to the province in which the eggs were produced, and provides that the parties shall comply with any applicable Order, Regulation or requirement of the Agency. The application referred to in paragraph (1)(c) shall be in the form provided by the Agency; be completed and signed by the applicant; contain information relevant to the marketing of the broiler hatching eggs and chicks, including the number of eggs to be marketed and the number of chicks to be returned to the province in which the eggs were produced, and the price at which any such eggs shall be marketed; be accompanied by invoices, sales receipts or other documents evidencing the number of broiler hatching eggs marketed by the applicant in the year prior to the year for which the application is being made; and be filed with the Agency for the year 2000, on or before September 1, 2000, and for subsequent years, on or before October 1 of the year preceding the year for which the authorization is sought. The Agency shall grant an authorization if the applicant meets the requirements set out in this section. An authorization issued under this section expires on December 31 of the year for which it is issued. A producer, dealer or hatchery operator who, during the qualifying period, marketed into a signatory province broiler hatching eggs or chicks produced in a non-signatory province and who wishes to obtain an orderly marketing quota shall apply to the Agency for a licence, pursuant to the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg and Chick Licensing Regulations, for the year to which the quota applies; and apply to the Agency for a quota no later than September 30 of the year preceding the year in respect of which the quota applies. An application for an orderly marketing quota referred to in subsection (1) shall be completed and signed by the applicant; and in the case of an application by an applicant to whom an orderly marketing quota has not previously been allotted, be accompanied by invoices, sales receipts or other evidence of the number of broiler hatching eggs or chicks produced in a non-signatory province and marketed by the applicant in interprovincial trade into the signatory province during the qualifying period. An applicant referred to in paragraph (2)(c) shall make the applicant’s books and records available for examination in order that the Agency may verify the accuracy of the information given pursuant to that paragraph. The Agency shall allot an orderly marketing quota to any applicant who meets the requirements of section 4 and is a holder of a licence under the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg and Chick Licensing Regulations for the year in respect of which the orderly marketing quota applies. The orderly marketing quota in respect of a signatory province allotted to an applicant under subsection (1) for a year shall be equal to the number of broiler hatching eggs and chicks, adjusted to take into account the principle of comparative advantage of production, determined by the formula represents the percentage change, from the year the signatory province was first referred to in the definition signatory provinces in section 1 of the schedule to the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers Proclamation to the year in respect of which the orderly marketing quota is to apply, in the amount that is the total number of broiler hatching eggs and chicks subject to limits for that signatory province as set out in the schedule to the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers Quota Regulations, and represents the number of broiler hatching eggs and chicks that were marketed during the qualifying period by the applicant into that signatory province. An orderly marketing quota shall be expressed in a number of broiler hatching eggs. For the purpose of marketing chicks, the number of broiler hatching eggs in the orderly marketing quota shall be converted into the number of chicks by multiplying the number of broiler hatching eggs in the quota by the hatchability for the province of production during the year preceding the year in which the chicks are marketed. An orderly marketing quota expires on December 31 of the year for which it is allotted. No producer, dealer or hatchery operator shall sell, give as security, lease or assign an orderly marketing quota. Where a producer, dealer or hatchery operator ceases to carry on business, the Agency may, on application, re-allot any orderly marketing quota held by that producer, dealer or hatchery operator on such terms and conditions as are necessary for the orderly marketing of broiler hatching eggs or chicks. Where a producer, dealer or hatchery operator markets broiler hatching eggs or chicks produced in a non-signatory province in interprovincial trade into a signatory province in excess of that producer’s, dealer’s or hatchery operator’s orderly marketing quota for that signatory province for a year, the Agency shall reduce, in such manner and to such extent as are necessary for the orderly marketing of broiler hatching eggs and chicks, that producer’s, dealer’s or hatchery operator’s orderly marketing quota for that signatory province for the following year. If a licence issued by the Agency to a producer, dealer or hatchery operator pursuant to the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg and Chick Licensing Regulations is suspended or cancelled, the orderly marketing quota for that producer, dealer or hatchery operator shall be suspended or cancelled, as the case may be. The Agency shall, on application, on such terms and conditions as are necessary for the orderly marketing of broiler hatching eggs and chicks, allot orderly marketing quotas for a signatory province to persons in a non-signatory province who did not market broiler hatching eggs or chicks produced in the non-signatory province in interprovincial trade into the signatory province during the qualifying period, if the market for broiler hatching eggs or chicks in the signatory province has increased; and the Agency has assigned a number of broiler hatching eggs or chicks for the allotment of orderly marketing quotas. These Regulations come into force on the day on which they are registered.
