Canada Takes Supply Management Off the Negotiating Table

The Canadian Parliament has passed legislation to protect Canada’s supply management system. This law would prohibit the government from making trade deals that weaken tariff rate quotas or increase import quotas on dairy, eggs, chicken and turkey products. The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement is up for review a year from now, and the United States is expected to renew its opposition to Canada’s restrictive dairy import standards.
