Several media outlets are reporting that the United States has demanded a gradual phase-in of more market access until supply management is completely eliminated. Bruno Letendre, Chair of Les Producteurs de lait du Québec, had the following reaction to this news: “This proposal is totally unacceptable! It is just one of a series of exaggerated demands by the U.S. in other sectors of the negotiation. We continue to support the Canadian and Quebec governments in their efforts to keep supply management fully intact and we appreciate their firm rejection of this demand.”
