The Canadian Dairy Commission supports the industry by developing national and regional policies on dairy production, by detecting fluctuations in demand for dairy products and in milk production, and by coordinating the pooling of milk revenues and market sharing systems. The Canadian dairy industry is governed by a supply management system.
The Canadian dairy industry comprises several federal stakeholders, including:
Dans le domaine des produits laitiers, l'équilibre entre l'offre et la demande suppose un équilibre entre la production de toutes les fermes laitières et la consommation intérieure de produits laitiers. Le contrôle de la production nationale à la ferme se fait grâce aux quotas. La gestion des approvisionnements tient également compte de certaines importations au Canada et d'une partie de la production qui est expédiée sur les marchés d'exportation.

For dairy producers, milk pooling agreements are a way of managing the financial risks associated with the trends in domestic markets. The Canadian Dairy Commission administers these agreements on behalf of the dairy sector. The pooling of revenues from milk sales enables producers to receive an average price per hectolitre or per kilogram of components, based on total sales.
