Members of Parliament are rallying to bolster Canada's system of protecting dairy and poultry prices amid trade deals, and suggest developing countries do the same.
The House of Commons trade committee is set to undertake its final, detailed review Thursday of a Bloc Quebecois bill aimed at tying trade negotiators' hands so that new deals don't chip away at the system that controls quotas and prices for certain industries.
The committee urged the federal government to "consider ways its international development programming can promote the exchange of lessons learned in the areas of production and price stability with farmers in developing countries." Supply management is widely seen as a sacred cow in Canadian politics, with the agriculture sector using its clout across the country to push parties to maintain the status quo.
