After five years of negotiations, and a final week of marathon meetings, 12 Pacific Rim countries including Canada and the United State have reached an agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
While Canadian dairy was an issue in the negotiations, in the final agreement, Canada's supply management will remain protected.
However, Canada has opened up three point two-five per cent more of its dairy market to foreign suppliers.
Ron Bonnett, President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture says on the surface this looks like a good deal for Canadian dairy, but more analysis is still needed.
