Beef cattle levy sunset date extended by one year to June 30, 2027

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

The provision that sets levy rates on Canadian beef cattle (and related imported beef products) has had its expiry date pushed back by one year. Previously, the core levy-charging sections were set to stop applying on June 30, 2026; they will now remain in effect until June 30, 2027. This affects anyone who pays or collects levies under this order — primarily Canadian beef cattle producers and importers of beef products covered by the levy schedule. No levy rates or other terms have changed; only the sunset date has been extended. Those collecting or remitting levies should update their compliance timelines accordingly.
