How can we be credible when we criticize Trump's 25% tariffs while we impose 250% tariffs on American dairy products? We also talk about diversifying our trade to be less dependent on the United States. Did you know that negotiations for a free trade agreement with the United Kingdom stalled last year over the issue of opening our market to English cheeses, on which we also imposed 250% tariffs? This situation is completely absurd.
I repeat, because of the supply management, we were not able to have a free trade deal with the United Kingdom.
The Canadian supply management system is costly and inefficient. This system does not deserve that we engage in a trade war with the United States to protect it.
