Appeal for calculated base allocation dismissed as appellant was not a qualified processor during re-basing.
The appellant, a chicken processing facility, appealed a decision of the provincial chicken farming regulator denying its request for 286,553 kilograms of calculated base.
The appellant argued it had the closest connection to historical inter-provincial chicken supply purchases made by a former processor, and was therefore entitled to the calculated base under the regulator's policy.
The Tribunal found that the appellant was not a licensed processor with a calculated base at the time of the regulatory re-basing, and therefore did not qualify for the allocation.
The appeal was dismissed.
