Canada’s supply management system, which regulates dairy, poultry, and egg production through quotas, pricing, and tariffs, remains a major trade irritant for the United States.
The future of that system was topic of a public lecture at the University of Lethbridge by Ian Brodie, the first chief of staff to former prime minister Stephen Harper.
Brodie is also a political science professor at the University of Calgary. The lecture focused on Alberta’s role in supply management amid upcoming trade negotiations with the United States…
Brodie was chief of staff from 2006 to 2008 and has worked at the highest level of politics and was a senior member of the team that created the Conservative Party of Canada. He is the author of At the Centre of Government, which offers a first-hand view of the inner workings of the federal government.
