Organization that represents Canada's hatching egg producers makes some changes Thursday, January 16, 2014 by SUSAN MANN A package of changes to accommodate two Western Canadian provinces that have joined the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers has been posted recently on the Canada Gazette. Giuseppe Caminiti, general manager of the Canadian hatching egg agency, says the changes cover licensing, pricing, orderly marketing, the marketing levies order and quota. The regulatory changes to set provincial broiler hatching egg quota and the levies order, which establishes the levies paid by producers at both the provincial and national level, are done annually but the other changes are being done to accommodate the addition of Alberta and Saskatchewan to the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers agency. Saskatchewan is joining for the first time while Alberta is rejoining the agency after quitting in 2004. “We’ve been trying to have them rejoin the agency,” he says. Alberta and Saskatchewan joined the Canadian hatching egg producers last July. “A lot of changes had to be implemented” to accommodate the addition, Caminiti says. “The primary reason for the changes and update to the regulations are to include and add Alberta and Saskatchewan into the regulations.” In addition, some wording within the regulations had to be “cleaned up.” The changes have been approved by government and have already gone through the regulatory review, he says. Six provinces from British Columbia to Quebec, including Ontario, are members of the national hatching egg agency. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia both produce broiler hatching eggs but are not members. Caminiti says the agency is working with those two provinces to get them to join. The Canadian Hatching Egg Producers was formerly called the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg Marketing Agency. It changed its name in 2004. It represents 245 broiler hatching eggs farmers across Canada who produced about 665 million broiler hatching eggs in 2012. Broiler hatching eggs are fertilized eggs sent to commercial hatcheries where they are hatched. The broiler chicks are sold to chicken farmers who raise them for chicken production.
