brissy,

3 points about supply management:

1. It's legitimate to have a domestic debate about supply management but dumb to sacrifice this program in trade negotiations to foreign countries without reciprocal concessions from them.

2. The US has very expensive Federal subsidy programs for agriculture.  Are Canadians opposed to supply management prepared to substitute similar subsidies in place of supply management?

3. If Canada has neither supply management nor multi-billion Federal subsidy agriculture support programs in their place, are we prepared for a dramatic contraction of many aspects of domestic farming & total dependence on the US, Mexico, Australia, NZ, the EU, etc. for many agricultural products?
