The House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture held a hearing on March 9th, 2016, to study the issues surrounding milk protein surpluses in the Canadian supply managed dairy industry. Two provincial milk marketing boards, the national dairy farmers lobby organization, and a large dairy processor testified. All four participants were united in their message that federal government action is needed to strengthen border controls and properly enforce existing regulations for dairy products so as to reduce domestic milk protein surpluses.
