Commons passes bill to shield dairy quotas in future trade deals

MPs in the House of Commons have unanimously passed a Bloc Québécois bill that would block any future trade agreements from altering Canada’s dairy, egg and poultry quotas, reigniting debate over the limits of supply management protections in international negotiations.

Bill C-202 prohibits the federal government from making trade commitments that would affect supply-managed sectors.

That is one powerful cartel.
