The Canadian Dairy Commission was established in 1966 under The Canadian Dairy Commission Act. This Act showed the potential for national Action to deal with certain problems. The legislation led to the development of a national supply management system for industrial milk and was the first such program to be initiated and carried on. This legislation was specific and could not, therefore, be readily extended to other products. Moreover, the Canadian Dairy Commission was operated by a small board composed entirely of federal government appointees, an approach at which some producers of other commodities looked askance.
