Egg Farmers of Nova Scotia Pullet Regulations

made under subsection 9(1) and clause 11(

d) of the

Natural Products Act

R.S.N.S. 1989, c. 308

O.I.C. 86-733 (July 2, 1986), N.S. Reg. 145/1986

amended to N.S. Reg. 324/2022 (effective December 14, 2022)

1.00 These regulations may be cited as the Egg Farmers of Nova Scotia Pullet Regulations .

1.01 (

a) In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires, the words or terms

defined in

Section 2 of the Egg Farmers of Nova Scotia Marketing Plan shall have

the meanings ascribed to them there, except that for the purposes of these Pullet

Regulations, the term “quota holder” shall mean a producer who holds a quota

issued by the Commodity Board for the production or marketing of pullets

evidenced by a valid and current quota certificate issued by the Commodity Board.

(

b) In these regulations unless the context otherwise requires,

(i) “commercial quota” means a quota issued by the Commodity Board which

entitles the holder thereof to produce pullets for the purpose of marketing and

thereafter to market the pullets so produced. A producer to whom a valid

and current commercial quota has been issued by the Commodity Board

shall be referred to as a “commercial quota holder”;

(ii) “non-commercial quota” means a quota issued by the Commodity Board

which entitles the holder thereof to produce pullets for his own use only. A

producer to whom a valid and current non-commercial quota has been issued

by the Commodity Board shall be referred to as a “non-commercial quota

holder”;

(iii) “quota” means either a commercial quota or non-commercial quota.

1.02 (

a) Everyone who produces more than two hundred (200) pullets in any calendar year,

unless he is either a commercial quota holder or a non-commercial quota holder, is

guilty of a violation of this regulation and the Plan.

(

b) Everyone who produces and markets more than two hundred (200) pullets in any

calendar year, unless he is a commercial quota holder, is guilty of a violation of

this regulation and the Plan.

1.03 (

a) Every commercial quota holder who produces more pullets in a calendar year than

permitted by his quota pursuant to

Section 1.04 or

Section 1.05 is subject to an

over-quota penalty of $1.00 per pullet overproduced.

(

b) Every non-commercial quota holder who produces more pullets in a calendar year

than permitted by his quota shall be subject to an over-quota penalty of one dollar

($1.00) per pullet overproduced.

(

c) Notwithstanding subsections (

a) and (

b) hereof, no quota holder shall be liable to

an over-quota penalty if his overproduction results solely from the fact that he had

three pullet flocks in the calendar year and if each of the three flocks were

approximately equal to the other two.

1.04 The Commodity Board shall issue commercial quotas and non-commercial quotas on the

basis of its records relating to the “pullet quotas” which were previously issued in the

year 1972 pursuant to

Section 3(

f) of the Plan with such modifications by transfer,

further issuance of quota, cancellation of quota or otherwise as may have been approved

by the Commodity Board since that time.

1.05 After quota is issued in accordance with

Section 1.04, the Commodity Board may do any

of the following on the basis of its determination of the needs of the egg and pullet

industry as a whole:

(

i) issue further quota;

(ii) reduce quota;

(iii) request that the quota holder provide to the Commodity Board its intentions

for the unused quota.

1.06 [repealed]

1.07 (

a) Quota is issued by the Commodity Board in relation to the facilities of a producer

as shown to the Commodity Board at the time the Certificate of Quota is issued

and is not transferrable to other facilities of the producer without the approval of

the Commodity Board.

(

b) Similarly, quota is issued by the Commodity Board to the producer named in the

Certificate of Quota and is not transferrable to another producer, even should he

acquire the same facilities, without the approval of the Commodity Board.

(

c) A commercial quota holder who wishes to sell or otherwise transfer all or any part

of his commercial quota without facilities shall apply to the Commodity Board for

approval stating the amount of quota to be transferred and the address or location

of the facilities to which the transfer is proposed and no sale or transfer of such

quota shall be valid unless it is first approved in writing by the Commodity Board.

(

d) Where commercial quota is transferred pursuant to subsection (

c) hereof to an egg

producer, the commercial quota so transferred shall become non-commercial pullet

quota and shall be issued by the Commodity Board as such and such quota shall

not thereafter be used as commercial quota.

1.08 A commercial quota holder or a non-commercial quota holder must not raise pullets until

a Pullet Placement Permit has been approved and obtained from the Commodity Board.

1.09 Everyone engaged in the production or marketing of pullets shall, upon request by the

Commodity Board, furnish to the Commodity Board or any duly authorized agent of the

Commodity Board for that purpose, any information relating to his production, raising,

transporting and marketing of pullets as may be required.

1.10 Each commercial quota holder and non-commercial quota holder must pay to the

Commodity Board a fee of $0.015 per pullet produced.
