The second reason is that every time a free trade agreement is discussed supply management comes up. Eventually supply management has to be taken apart and removed, the sooner the better.
I do disagree with some (maybe several) of the conservative decisions lately but definitely feel that if any party is going to tear up supply management it will be them.

Given that Mexico just got into TPP and Canada is still on the outside, I question how willing they are to tear up supply management, although I agree that they should.
