Canada’s Conservative Party Votes For Anti Free Trade Supply Management Bill In House Of Commons
Tis an abomination to all true conservatives.
This Conservative Party of Canada is Conservative in name only. As I said many times before : Modern Day Liberals in blue clothes .
It’s all so predictable —principles mean nothing anymore .
The losing leader( can’t win his own seat) promised to get rid of biased public broadcaster CBC during his leadership but then near the end of the last election in a TV debate said if elected the Quebec Part of CBC would stay. The leader who refused to propose a more ethical and honest Conflict Of Interest Act.
How many Conservatives said it would be different with Poilievre ?
Dishonest, hypocritical —that’s not different——that’s the same old tired Central Canada mantra.
Quebec wins again.
Here is part of Epoch Times report:
“A Bloc Québécois bill that aims to protect Canada’s supply management system from future international trade negotiations has been passed in the House of Commons.
This was the first bill to clear the Commons in the new Parliament, after a similar bill in the previous Parliament had already passed and was being reviewed in the Senate before Parliament was prorogued earlier this year.
Bill C-202, which passed on June 5 in a unanimous vote, states that the foreign affairs minister “must not make any commitment on behalf of the Government of Canada, by international trade treaty or agreement,” to increase the tariff rate quota for dairy products, poultry or eggs, or reduce the tariff that applies when those goods are imported in excess of the quota.
“The Bloc Québécois is committed to fiercely defending our agricultural model and we will never let go,” Bloc MP Yves Perron said in a June 5 statement. “We are now counting on speedy passage in the Senate for the bill to come into force as soon as possible.”
Canada’s supply management system coordinates production and demand of dairy, eggs, and poultry products, while controlling imports as a way to set stable prices for farmers and consumers. The system was created in 1972 in response to decreasing prices for the products, and it imposes tariffs of up to 300 percent.
“We are pleased that all parties have today reiterated their support for our work for agricultural entrepreneurs in Quebec and Canada,” Perron said. “This rapidity of action is crucial in the current trade negotiations with the United States as we need to ensure that no part of the management of the offer can be ceded.”
