The supply management system is a cartel. It has nothing to do with protecting Canadian industry. Allowing other countries to import dairy products in Canada would lower prices for all Canadians. Our dairy regulations have nothing to do with supply management, but the dairy industry sure duped you and most other Canadians to believe that.
Which BTW is the reverse argument that we now have with the Trump tariffs, which everyone on here seems to agree with. Aluminum & steel producers in the states are just going to raise their prices to basically be at the same level as what Canadian steel & aluminum costs after the tariff is applied. Funny how the 'free market' works. Even you should understand that.
