Canada isn’t willing to concede on supply management when it comes to trade with the United States.
International Trade and Economic Development Minister Mary Ng made that clear during an interview on Power Play with Vassy Kapelos.
“For people, for example, who have a stake in the dairy industry, farmers, for example, in Quebec, your message to them (on Feb. 5) is you’re not going to concede on supply management,” Kapelos said.
“Correct,” the minister replied.
Members of the new U.S. administration have targeted dairy trade between the two countries during confirmation hearings.
