Chicken Farmers of Canada is calling for production at 5.5 per cent above base quota for December 13 to February 6.
Ontario’s allocation is at 5.1 per cent above base.
Chicken Farmers of Ontario said * the Ontario allocation is lower than national allocation this period due to Ontario having no population growth kilograms.
“This number has generally been favourable for Ontario, leading to a higher provincial number compared to national.”
It is the third month in a row that Ontario’s allocation has been less than the national target.
Canada’s population surged when the federal government issued record amounts of foreign student and temporary worker permits.
Now Ontario is pleading for an increase in worker permits.
