Translating: the Canadian government protects collusion between the Canadian farmers to reduce competition and extract undue economic profits from society.
Yep, it is a subsidy.
- dleslie 8y agoAlong with the proximity to the American border and the duty-free purchasing allowed, CETA opened up broader quotas on importing dairy products from Europe without tariffs, _and buyers are not availing themselves of the full extent of it_. There is no extraction of undue economic profits because consumers can, and yet do not, access other markets without tariff. There is no monetary or financial assistance provided, none whatsoever.
