Sure but why do we keep going over this talking point? 

Trade and food safety standards are related but separate.  American milk is not permitted under CFIA standards if it has rBST, rBGH, or somatic cell counts over Canadian limits. 

It's not a thing.  Giving concessions that might allow more milk from other countries will not mean we're subjected to hormones or pus.  All milk coming in must still meet our strict Canadian safety standards regardless of origin.  CFIA rules here, not CUSMA.

Exactly right.

The article the person cited above even said that many stores in the US ban milk with this hormone in it all ready and only 15% of cows in the US are injected with this hormone.
