A Bloc Québécois bill that aims to protect Canada’s supply management system from future international trade negotiations has been passed in the House of Commons.

This was the first bill to clear the Commons in the new Parliament, after a similar bill in the previous Parliament had already passed and was being reviewed in the Senate before Parliament was prorogued earlier this year.
