The Liberal government will not make concessions concerning the country’s supply management system, International Trade Minister Mary Ng says, as U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening steep tariffs and hinting he wants expanded access to Canada’s dairy market.
When asked during a Feb. 6 interview on CTV News if Canada would be willing to concede on the issue, Ng simply replied, “No.” She said Canada’s supply-managed sectors are “really important to the Canadian economy,” and had been negotiated as part of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement during Trump’s first term as president.
