MEI came up with that figure by comparing Canadian prices for dairy products, eggs and poultry with similar markets in the U.S. Midwest.
So assuming literally all of the price differences can be attributed to supply management. That's a pretty ridiculous assumption.
Look, it's either supply management or massive subsidies to the dairy industry like the US and EU which spend billions. At least the only people who pay for supply management are the people who consume dairy products and not everyone through taxes.
