GUELPH — Canada’s supply-managed dairy, poultry and egg producers will collect billions in taxpayer funds as compensation for concessions this country made in the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement on trade.
Canada’s approximately 9,900 dairy farmers will get most of the $1.7 billion. As announced by the Trudeau government Nov. 17, the feds “intend to offer” those producers $1.2 billion over six years. That support is on top of $1.75 billion previously awarded to those farmers through the ‘Dairy Direct Payment’ program as fallout of two other trade deals: the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Poultry and egg farmers will share $112 million through an investment program aimed at them, bringing total compensation for that sector to $803 million.
The new money also includes $105 million to be awarded to dairy- and egg-processing facilities, as well as a $300 million program to find new uses for solids-non-fat milk byproducts.
