I don't think so. Supply management enables farmers to produce anywhere in Canada and have the same income and the same marketing costs. It is a system that protects small farms. In Quebec—I am talking about Quebec because that is where I come from—there are small family farms with just a few cows and they are still operating. Families are able to survive because the income is stable and guaranteed all year round.
