How does Canada's supply management system affect domestic consumers and international trade relations, and what are the economic implications of this system?

The Canadian supply management system, while ensuring stable supply and prices for domestic producers and consumers, has created trade barriers with countries like the U.S. and Britain. This system, controlling production and prices of dairy, eggs, and poultry, involves high tariffs on imports exceeding quotas and limits interprovincial sales, leading to higher consumer prices and strained international relations. A 2015 University of Manitoba study showed that supply management costs the poorest households $339 annually.
