Canadian Federalism, Internationalization and Quebec Agriculture: Dis-Engagement, Re-Integration?

Abstract

The two faces of relations between Quebec and Canadian agriculture have been shaped by Canada's federal system and developments in the international trading environment. The first face, the disengagement of Quebec's farm community from the Canadian federal system, can be traced to the Quebec government's expansionist agricultural policy, the diminished federal expenditure role in Quebec agriculture, and the fissiparous effects of the negotiation of international trade agreements. The second face of good working relationships in the national supply-managed sectors is linked to flexible, national corporatist decision-making structures which provide a vital social glue linking Quebec's dairy sector with that outside Quebec. Restructuring the Canada-Quebec relationship in agriculture by either giving Quebec sole jurisdiction for agriculture or integrating Quebec agriculture more fully into the federation must be assessed in the context of internationalizing pressures and fiscal restraints.
