I do not often agree with Jeffrey Simpson, but he is bang on with his polemic against supply management and how Canada is being shut out of international free trade negotiations by our fanatical defense of poultry, egg and dairy farm protection.
As I have always said, supply management simply protects Canadians from lower prices. It is time for Ottawa to banish this from the land. New Zealand and Australia have shown the way to greater prosperity for these industries by allowing them to compete on the world stage.
