Dairy Policy Reform in Canada & the United States: Protection at Home or International Trade? (Toronto)

Panelists Martha Hall Findlay and Joe Balagtas will assess the progress to date on implementing dairy policy reforms and discuss the cost of inaction in terms of global competitiveness—in particular, international dairy markets.

Date & Time

Wednesday
Oct. 22, 2014
8:00am – 9:30am ET

Overview

Location: This event will take place at Bennett Jones Headquarters in Toronto, ON. 

For several decades, dairy policies in Canada and the United States have protected and supported domestic dairy industries. Regulations have taken different forms—supply management in Canada, and complex pricing rules in the United States—but both systems hurt consumers, shield domestic dairy from foreign competition, and jeopardize efforts to participate in proposed international free-trade negotiations.

Panelists Martha Hall Findlay and Joe Balagtas will assess the progress to date on implementing dairy policy reforms and discuss the cost of inaction in terms of global competitiveness—in particular, international dairy markets.
