That was very well put, and I'll try to be brief in response.
Quite simply, I mentioned at the outset that a very simple economic analysis cannot answer whether it's a good policy. It can't. You're ultimately weighing benefits versus costs. And you mentioned a few other benefits that are obviously part of this--keeping robust rural communities in Canada--and there are all these other benefits that go into it. But at the end of the day they have to be weighed against the costs.
If I could turn it quickly into a question of competitiveness, essentially the consequences of it are that for these young farmers you mentioned, it is really tough to be a young farmer and get into those industries. You have to be able to come up with a lot of money and quota to get in. That turns a lot of young farmers away from the industry and a lot of the subsequent generations of farmers who are involved in the supply management industry don't really want to take it over.
