Petition to Government of Canada
- Quebec’s agricultural model is based on small family farms occupying our land;
- There is a very broad consensus among Quebeckers (85%) in favour of supply management;
- Quebec’s 5,500 dairy farms are the foundation of an agri-food sector generating 82,000 jobs;
- The breaches in the last three trade agreements are causing major damage and raising concerns about the future, both of which are obstacles to farm succession;
- Consumers and processors greatly benefit from a local supply of high quality, hormone-free dairy products that meet the highest global standards;
- The U.S. model of low-quality, industrial-scale dairy production is not suitable for Quebeckers or for ensuring the prosperity of our rural communities; and
- Consumers need to know where the milk in the dairy products they buy comes from so they can choose the best local product available.
