Currently, the supply management system does not cost the community or the state much of anything. There are some small supply management programs, but they are minor and do not represent any significant amount.
In Europe for example, some countries abandoned milk supply management. Their system was equivalent to our supply management system. After they abandoned it, the price for the producers dropped, while the consumers did not receive any economic advantage. Moreover, the consumers, through their taxes, had to subsidize dairy farms and find a way to save them, especially in France, Germany and Belgium. The consumers could not benefit from the elimination of supply management, and the producers found themselves in a difficult situation. That really did not help the farm transfer, it did not help anyone.
