Ottawa—Canada and the U.S. will try to iron out their differences on how the federal government’s tariff rate quota system is supposed to work through further consultations under CUSMA, says Trade Minister Mary Ng.
Ng insisted Canada has met its obligations to ensure its TRQ system meets CUSMA’s standards. “We respect the right of the U.S. to initiate the dispute resolution mechanism as part of the agreement. Canada will actively participate in CUSMA’s consultation process and stand by our position to administer our TRQs in a manner that supports our dairy supply management system.”
“By allocating CUSMA TRQs to processors and distributors, Canada is meeting its trade obligations while ensuring a measure of predictability in dairy imports in a manner that supports supply management, a system based primarily on supplying the needs of Canadian consumers.” Global Affairs Canada has opened the application period for the 2022-2023 dairy year TRQs and the previously unallocated quota under the 2022 CUSMA calendar year dairy TRQs and with a deadline of June 15.
