PM Says Ottawa Is ‘Loyal’ to Supply Management System Protecting Dairy Sector
Carney said Ottawa will keep protecting the system as U.S. tariffs could hit about one-third of Canada’s dairy exports to the United States.
- On Aug. 19, the United States is expected to impose a 50 per cent tariff on selected Canadian dairy products, threatening a key export market.
- President Donald Trump has repeatedly complained about United States dairy farmers' "access to Canada," citing the supply management system as a key irritant in trade negotiations.
- Canada's $360 million to $380 million in annual dairy exports face significant risk, with approximately $120 million to $140 million exposed to the tariff measures.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney stated his government remains "loyal" to the supply management system, while Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and chief trade negotiator Janice Charette conduct talks in Washington.
- A 15-year plan should encourage strategic processing assets, Carney suggests, helping the industry evolve beyond a system originally designed for over 42,000 dairy farms in the early 1970s.
