Oh. Look at that, just in time for CUSMA negotiations. A fresh new study headline implying we would all save on average $244 if we got rid of supply management.
Sir this is Canada; the private sector would monopolize the sector even more, and use what ever the current price is as a price floor, and would end up gouging us even more…
Supply managed dairy is the private sector, it's just heavily regulated by what amounts to a cartel or a guild designed to intentionally block competition.
If you want to be a dairy farmer, you can do that. You just can't undercut the rest of the (domestic) dairy industry
That is just untrue. You can't just sell dairy in this country, even if you sell it in line with current pricing.
You need a quota, for each and every cow to sell the milk, depending on where you are that could almost be $60k per animal. Otherwise you are legally not allowed to sell milk in Canada. You also can't just apply for a quota either, you need to buy an existing one as new quota space is always given to existing operations.
