House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member David Scott and Chairman GT Thompson released the below statement regarding a report published today by the second USMCA dispute panel on Canada's dairy tariff-rate quota (TRQ) allocation policies.

“We are disappointed in today’s announcement and the decision of the dispute panel. It is critical the U.S. encourage and enforce USMCA, and this decision allows Canada to continue their questionable protectionist practices that disallow fair access to Canadian markets. We appreciate Ambassador Tai and the Biden Administration’s continued pursuit to ensure fair market access for U.S. dairy producers.”
