The emerging Liberal leadership race, which is going to wind up around early April, is coming to life. Today first time since 1984, a contender featured some agriculture reforms in their debate. Toronto lawyer Martha Hall Findlay, who made the announcement of her candidacy last week, has pushed the party to give up its long held support for supply management.
Findlay shared the idea of phasing out the dairy, poultry and egg tariff and quota system over the coming years with a plan of paying off the quota-holding farmers. Liberal governments initiated and managed the creation of national supply management schemes in the 1960s and 1970s, so her proposal will most likely be subjected to noteworthy confrontation from the establishment. Now since one candidate has brought an out-of-the-box idea, other candidates will soon have to follow up and respond. Findley’s competitor in the Liberal Leadership race is Montreal MP and frontrunner, Justin Trudeau.
It has not been since the campaign of the former agriculture minister Eugene Whelan for the leadership in 1984, that anyone featured the topic of agricultural reforms in the party leadership debates. Findlay, a former MP, has high hopes of moving the third place party out of its traditions. She kick started he campaign in Calgary Nov. 14, by enlisting some very popular provincial Progressive Conservative organizers for guiding her throughout the campaign and argue with traditional broad and orthodox policies has led the party to its lowest House of Commons standing ever.
