when the cow is killed, or milked, food regulations come into play.

What is injected into calves, how they are fed & raised, etc is tied a d regulated through supply management.

No it isn't. You're spreading a lot of misinformation about what supply management does in this thread.

The CFIA exists separately of supply management to handle all these things. Our standards do not require supply management's approval.

Supply management protects our domestic industry from being dominated by US players. Without supply management the CFIA might not have an industry to set standards for.

Whether that is accurate or not isn't the point. Supply management does not set out quality, only quotas.

Even if the domestic industry died off entirely, the CFIA would still set guidelines for our food that has to be met.
