In short, what happened in Quebec could happen in any other region in Canada. In 2006, Quebec was the hardest hit by egg imports subject to tariffs. We do not know how these eggs enter the country or what advantage this gives to the provinces.
The eggs are imported by people requesting them. Anyone can, by paying the required tariffs, import eggs into Canada. Under our supply management system, we assess requirements and adjust our production accordingly. Well, we do not know who is importing these eggs or where they come from. It could be a chain, a grader, or an individual. We know they come from the United States, but we do not know from where exactly.
We do not know the final destination either, because this information is confidential. We've asked to have access to this information to know, at the very least, the final destination for these eggs, and perhaps, to have an opportunity to discuss the matter with these people and do something. For the time people, that's not possible.
