Some stuff about Canada's dairy quotas from Canadians don't know the price of milk - The Globe and Mail:
"The system dates back more than 40 years and evolved largely to protect dairy farmers from food conglomerates. [emphasis mine] Today the Canadian Dairy Commission and provincial marketing boards regulate the price paid to farmers and control the amount each farmer produces."
"So, when you compare honestly, Canadians pay fair retail prices, Canadian dairy farmers get a fair share and the Canadian government does not subsidize milk a penny, [emphasis mine]" says Bill Mitchell, a spokesman for the organization. "That's why Canada is keeping its milk marketing system - because it works."
