Unless you think the price of cheese hypothetically going down is worth more to the country than getting pipelines to east coast built.

It will never ever be Alberta that gets supply management rescinded even though we'd probably be the largest beneficiary. But if Ontario decides to trade supply management for their auto industry I'd certainly be pleased.
I'd put the end of supply management well below getting a new pipeline, but above ending the interprovincial trade barriers on liquor. On the basis that cheaper milk/eggs/dairy products are more generally important to consumers than cheaper booze.
Ideally all of them happen, but I doubt the country is united enough to put aside all our petty differences.
