Résumé anglais The Canadian Milk Quota Market: An Original Experiment, by Catherine Goudounèche. In 1970, Canada adopted quotas for manufacturing milk. Since then, each province has tried out different systems for the trading of these quotas between producers. These successive trials have resulted in the setting up of a single centralized market, which operates for quotas unconnected with the farm's assets and enjoys market conditions approaching perfect competition. This development has been accompanied by a rise in the price of quotas and the free market for quotas has acted as a restructuring tool for the Canadian milk sector by speeding up the concentration of holdings. An additional regulation has protected the production of certain fragile areas.
