Strongly agree

No

CPC platforms and leaders have repeatedly committed to keeping supply management and opposing its abolition, while offering compensation for market-access concessions in recent trade deals.

Strongly agree

No, protect our farmers from cheap, subsidized American imports

This matches the CPC’s typical justification: shielding Canadian supply-managed sectors from heavily subsidized U.S. competition; Conservatives defended the system during NAFTA/USMCA negotiations and promised farmer compensation for any access given.

Agree

No, food security is national security and we must produce our own food

Food-security rhetoric is more commonly emphasized by other parties, but Conservatives do sometimes invoke domestic production and farm stability; still, their main defense is protecting farmers/market stability rather than explicit national-security framing.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The federal Conservatives have consistently defended supply management; under Harper they maintained it, and under Scheer/O’Toole/Poilievre they pledged to protect it and compensate farmers for trade concessions (CETA/CPTPP/USMCA).

Strongly disagree

Yes, it is a tax on the poor to subsidize wealthy farmers

While some free-market conservatives criticize supply management on affordability grounds, the CPC as a party has not embraced the ‘tax on the poor’ abolition argument and has instead pledged to preserve the system.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, dismantle the cartel so Canadians can buy cheaper milk and cheese

Framing supply management as a “cartel” to dismantle conflicts with the CPC’s long-standing promise to protect the system; the party has generally avoided abolitionist rhetoric and instead defends producers’ quota value.
