An Act to amend the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act (supply management)
Bloc Québécois priority. Critics question the fiscal cost ($3B+/year); supporters argue current two-tier OAS is age-discriminatory.
Status
Quick learn
Requires the federal government to keep "supply management" (the dairy, poultry, and egg quota system) off the table in any future trade negotiation. Has the political effect of locking in a long-standing Bloc Québécois demand.
