Yay for rules based trade

One News reports:

A special arbitration panel found Canada breached trade rules by using administrative complexity to prevent importers from accessing the market.

The dispute centred on how Canada used dairy tariff rate quotas under the Comprehensive Trans Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) – a free trade deal signed in 2018 among 11 nations in the Asia Pacific region.

This is great news. This is the benefit of trade agreements – they have a mechanism to ensure countries stick to their commitments.
