加拿大民众对供应管理的认知水平与看法
Level of knowledge and perceptions of Canadians on supply management
摘要
Abstract Supply management (SM) has recently attracted a lot of attention nationally and internationally. A bill (C‐202) to safeguard SM from future international trade negotiations was voted unanimously by the Canadian parliament in 2025. At the international level, tariffs associated with SM have been criticized by the Trump administration. Given that SM is based on a tacit social contract between SM farmers and society at large, as well as its political significance, it appears important to assess the level of knowledge of Canadians regarding this policy, as well as their perception of SM themes raised in the media. This paper reports the literacy score and perceptions on SM of a national survey of over 1200 respondents. To analyze the data, perceptions on SM themes are regressed on respondents’ level of SM literacy, sociodemographic data, as well as on two questions that are of a more ideological nature. Results indicate that Canadians have little knowledge of the working or scope of SM. Furthermore, after providing neutral information on themes related to SM that are or have been in the media, we find that the views toward SM policy are mostly negative, with the most negative perceptions held by respondents with ideologies that we loosely classify as economic conservatism.
中文摘要
摘要 供应管理（SM）近年来在国内和国际上引起了广泛关注。一项旨在保护供应管理免受未来国际贸易谈判影响的法案（C-202）于2025年在加拿大议会获得一致通过。在国际层面，与供应管理相关的关税受到了特朗普政府的批评。鉴于供应管理基于供应管理农民与整个社会之间的一种隐性社会契约，以及其政治重要性，评估加拿大人对该政策的了解程度以及他们对媒体中提及的供应管理议题的看法显得尤为重要。本文报告了一项全国性调查中超过1200名受访者的供应管理素养得分及其看法。为分析数据，我们将受访者对供应管理议题的看法回归于其供应管理素养水平、社会人口统计数据以及两个更具意识形态性质的问题。结果表明，加拿大人对供应管理的运作方式或范围知之甚少。此外，在提供关于媒体中已出现或正在出现的供应管理相关议题的中立信息后，我们发现对供应管理政策的看法大多为负面，其中持有我们粗略归类为经济保守主义意识形态的受访者所持看法最为负面。
