EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

The Canadian Chicken Licensing Regulations provide that every market development licence is issued subject to certain conditions. One condition is that a market development licensee market the total live weight equivalent of the number of kilograms of chicken indicated in section 1 of the market development commitment form, during the market development commitment period. The amendments to these Regulations make clear that which was already implicit in the Regulations, namely, that the licensee must receive from the buyer, during the market development commitment period, in respect of the chicken that was marketed, a copy of the Market Development Policy Volume Confirmation letter issued to each buyer by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade or the Certificate of Inspection Covering Meat Products issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
