History
The Farm Products Marketing Agencies Act (FPMAA) was created 40 years ago in response to the chaos in the poultry and egg markets that existed in the 1960s and early 1970s. An oversupply of eggs in Ontario and broiler chickens in Quebec led producers to seek markets in each other’s province. To gain market shares, the eggs and broilers were sold below local prices.
The Ontario-Quebec chicken and egg "war" spread across the country, resulting in a number of provinces passing legislation that restricted the entry of eggs and chicken in their province.
The conflicts ended in 1971 when Manitoba challenged, in court, the seizure of a shipment of its eggs by the British Columbia Egg Marketing Board. The Court’s 1971 decision, known as the Manitoba Egg Reference Case, ruled that a provincial board could not restrict the entry of products from another province.
Prior to this decision, the federal government, at the request of egg producers across Canada and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, introduced Bill C-197 in March 1970. This Bill would permit a national marketing agency to, amongst other powers, restrict production and establish an allocation system of production quota for each province. Although Bill C-197 died on the order papers early in 1970 due to significant opposition, it was reintroduced in October 1970 as Bill C-176, the precursor to the FPMAA, later amended to the Farm Products Agencies Act in 1993.
Following two all-night sessions and a last-minute amendment, the House of Commons consented to Bill C-176 on December 31, 1971, at 6:40 a.m.
Royal assent was given to the FPMAA on January 12, 1972. The FPMAA established the National Farm Products Marketing Council (NFPMC), which was changed to the Farm Products Council of Canada (FPCC) in 2009. It began its operations on April 1, 1972, and authorized the establishment of national marketing agencies for farm products.
At first, the FPMAA included a definition section and two parts. Part I pertained to the creation of NFPMC and outlined its duties, powers and the responsibilities to conduct public hearings as well as organizational requirements.
Part II pertained to the national marketing agencies and outlined their requirements such as how an agency would be established, the need for a Proclamation, membership of agencies, their objects and powers, including the setting of production quotas, the collection of levies, as well as financial and reporting requirements.
In 1993, the FPMAA was amended to include a Part III, which enabled the establishment of Promotion and Research Agencies (PRA). Agencies created under Part III of the FPMAA have the authority to collect levies on interprovincial, export and import trade but do not have the authority to set production quotas.
1972 – Establishment of the Egg Farmers of Canada (EFC), legally known as the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency (CEMA)
1974 – Establishment of the Turkey Farmers of Canada (TFC), legally known as the Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency (CTMA)
1978 – Establishment of the Chicken Farmers of Canada (CFC)
1986 – Establishment of the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers (CHEP)
2002 – Establishment of the Canadian Beef Cattle Research Market Development and Promotion Agency (Beef Agency)

Re: Good Morning 2024
... at a glance
Chicken Farmers of Canada is the national organization responsible for the production and marketing of chicken in Canada.
Canadian chicken production generated $3.8 billion in 2022, contributing 4% of cash receipts from agricultural operations in Canada.
Overall, in 2022, the 2,826 regulated chicken producers in Canada produced 1.34 billion kilograms of chicken (eviscerated weight), 61% of which was produced in Ontario and Quebec.
Canada also counted over 80 chicken primary processing establishments, 41 of which are federally inspected, along with many further processors who depend on supply of chicken for a portion of their business.
Chicken remained the most consumed animal meat protein in Canada in 2022 with a per capita disappearance of 35.4 kilograms, slightly higher than the 2021 level, and above the pre-pandemic level. The Covid-19 pandemic affected the chicken industry, with the closure and reduced offers from the food service industry responsible for a significant part of the chicken consumption in Canada.
Canadian chicken production is supplemented by imports subject to import controls such as Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQ’s), policies pertaining to supplemental imports, and import to re-export programs.
According to Statistics Canada, chicken meat and meat products imports in 2022 totalled 188.1 million kilograms, valued at $862 million, mostly originating from the United States, followed by Brazil and Thailand.
That same year, a total of 111.8 million kilograms of chicken meat and meat products, valued at $662 million, were exported to over 50 countries, with the largest importers being the United States, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
In 2022, the Canadian commercial poultry and egg industry was affected by highly pathogenic avian influenza with over 7.6 million birds affected in 9 provinces.

Re: Good Morning 2024
Hi everyone!
How's everyone doing? Lots of babies starting to lay yet? My new from this spring have just started in the last 2 days with the odd wee little eggs here and there. Never gets old. We had a 2 week trip to visit DH's family in germany, and i came back with bad cellulitis in my leg from an insect bite....oddly enough, an insect bite i had gotten here in my garden at home. It waited a full 5 days and 8000 km before it went bad! ARGH. so almost 3 weeks of antibiotics now....almost done....blech....Leg is doing way better....will likely take months to heal all the way. At least i feel better as of earlier this week! (and oddly, my achy ear and sinus are feeling better too!). Lost a pile of birds when we were away....like at least 6 ducks and 4 chickens. The problems with not being there and having the dogs around every day. The horse ended up with raw bug bites, so that's all being treated and finally looking better. She's happy for people around again too. The dogs LOVED their boarding place. they were happy once they were home, but i'm not so sure they wanted to come home. LOL. Now we are just catching up on the gardens and weeding and grass cutting and holy smokes it can stop raining for a little while! There are times i'm thankful our farm is sandy! The river is HUGE, and getting bigger....with everything coming down river from stratford/london/woodstock.....it should all pass my farm today at some point. This weekend (later today actually) will be our first honey draw. I sure hope our containers arrive from domm/grimm today! We have at least 9 supers (90 frames) to extract this weekend and then in 3 weeks will be our next honey draw. In the meantime it's time to plant next cauliflower and broccoli crop and start picking the sweet corn. Garlic came out last weekend, smaller size but respectable. Potatoes are ready to be pilfered for some fresh potatoes. All the squash are done-they rotted from too much water i think. that and squash beetles. So they were replanted last week, see if we can't get some zucchini anyways before summer is over. Cucumbers in full swing and more raspberries are ready. Of course the weeding is needing to be done. Also time for first crop broccoli and cauliflower to go to the freezer and the first herb harvest to get dehydrated and stored. We are seeing ticks EVERYWHERE right now, so gross. Hate those. At least they're mostly dog and deer ticks, haven't seen any lonestar ticks yet...i hear they are around. I do like to hold them with tweezers and incinerate them. Bees are going crazy-we actually had a swarm take up residence in a bucket yesterday. Not sure what they were thinking....lol. easy dump into a hive, but still-a bucket? LOL. definitely easier than 50 feet up a tree.
Hope everyone is doing great and their birds are doing great and not freeloading slackers like mine!

Re: Good Morning 2024
SLackers here too! Potatoes way too early and huge yields. My cerisa I overwintered grew well and died back early. Good harvest. I got stung on the eyelid by a small wasp that was in a coop. Major reaction and it took me 2 days to get past the f***ing receptionist to see the nurse who went oh god and got the Dr. who gave me 5 days of prednisone. STill waiting for the Telehealth callback LOL. DH found a nest of small very aggressive wasps that are different colour from yellowjackets. Gone now Glad they didn't get Tweeps or the babies. Broody girl doing great with the kids even if the other chickens laugh.
Exciting morning. Walk to pullet coop, wham! It's robin fledge day. SO the broody got into it with the parents then the SK 8 poults found a fledgling. In the end the 2 fledgings were caught and popped over the fence for the parents.
Miss my kestrel babies!

Re: Good Morning 2024
Semi woke up and was determining if today was a work day and was pleasantly surprised when my brain said...you went to first aid training yesterday so today is Sunday and BBQ at Ricky's day. Jerk salmon on the menu...Looked out the window and saw a brown thing in the back. Then saw the doe's head then thought... "Shouldn"t deer be green in the summer?... then thought wait there are no green mammals...maybe green fur can not be produced...then thought maybe I have apnea and need to get one of those masks...seems like i haven't been waking up refreshed...then thought...i'm overdue for a PTO reading...beautiful chicks @Killerbunny...so it is possible to leave on a vacation with a horse, dogs, and chickens and ducks etc? I figured the only way to leave is to have someone live at your house that knows how to take care of all these animals...dogs at kennel is simple enough...sorry you loss some @WLLady while on vacation though...i guess that's expected and you need to take vacations to reenergize, destress, see how they raise chickens in Germany etc. When I was in France i noticed a noise and looked over a wall to see a lady and her husband closing a gate. She had a basket full of fresh greens. The triangular area was surrounded by stone walls about 20 feet high and plants were growing over and on the walls. The ground was scratched bare and there was a natural cave at the end of the triangle. The fence was very high, about 12 feet. Not sure what she was keeping out. The chickens looked happy as pie to see her and were enjoying the greens. It seemed like an idyllic place to live. Another thing I noticed was the chicken eggs at the market had poo on them. Maybe to show the buyers they are farm fresh and not from a chicken in a cage? Also, they cracked a raw egg on top of pasta carbonara. I was wondering... Is that even allowed at restaurants in Canada? I have seen raw eggs at Chinese hot pot places but I'm not so sure that's legal...LOL

Re: Good Morning 2024
How is everybody surviving this "heat event" ?
Is it different then "heat wave " or " heat dome".....?
or are we just looking for different names for crap weather ?
It looks to me as if July has firmly moved in to August , and now just wondering what exactly does it mean for weather the rest of the year?
anyway, how are your birds and animals doing ???? @TomK @Killerbunny @WLLady
