Canadians are paying record prices for chicken while importing massive quantities of foreign poultry, mostly from the United States. If that sounds contradictory, it’s because it is.
According to the latest Canadian Association of Regulated Importers (CARI) figures released May 23, Canada has already imported more than 52.2 million kilograms of chicken so far this year under WTO, CUSMA, and CPTPP commitments combined. Nearly 23.8 million kilograms came directly from the United States under CUSMA alone.
