Significant Events

Al Mussell has provided critical insights into the implications of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) on the dairy sector. He highlighted concerns regarding the nearly full utilization of CUSMA quotas, emphasizing that granting large supermarket chains direct import access could reallocate profitable shelf space instead of increasing total imports. Mussell also pointed out that this shift could impact the operation of Canada’s supply-management system, potentially affecting Canadian manufacturers.
