Intended modification to class 4(m)

OTTAWA, December 24, 2020

The Canadian Dairy Commission, in consultation with industry stakeholders, is considering an update to the 4(m) milk class to allow dairy processors to obtain the 4(m) permit price for the buttermilk incorporated in the manufacture of skim milk powder sold for animal feed. A further change under consideration is for liquid buttermilk for animal feed to be included as an eligible permit product in the 4(m) milk class up to the established limit.

Canadian Dairy Commission Forward Regulatory Plan

Canadian Dairy Commission Forward Regulatory Plan

The forward regulatory plan takes the form of a list or description, accessible to the public, that lists the regulatory amendments a department actually or potentially intends to make within a specified time. The purpose is to give consumers, businesses and other stakeholders and business partners the opportunity to intervene in the drafting of regulations and to plan for the future. It must be noted, however, that this plan is expected to be changed and updated as the Canadian Dairy Commission’s operating context evolves.
