Bloc Québécois supply management bill moves swiftly through Parliament
OTTAWA — A Bloc Québécois bill that looks to take Canada’s supply management system off the table in future trade negotiations has passed swiftly through Parliament.
The Senate passed the bill through third reading Tuesday evening, after the House of Commons pushed it through last week without opposition.
A previous version of the bill died when Parliament was prorogued earlier this year.
Supply management is the policy of controlling production of dairy products, eggs, chicken and turkey to prevent significant price fluctuations.
