Is the consumer getting hosed Ben? I honestly dont know. Is $1.42 US boneless skinless supply managed chicken a rip off? $.70US /litre milk? IDK Quite frankly the consumer has a lot bigger problems here than that. Namely our electric utilities.
Electric utilities? So what? That's like saying that if you see a woman getting raped it's ok to grab the cash out of her purse because she has "a lot bigger problems."
I don't know what your prices for milk and chicken would be without SM so it's hard for me to be certain who's getting hosed and by how much. I do know that to pay producers 2x world price the extra money has to come from somewhere, and in the end all costs are paid by consumers.
