Quebec Premier Francois Legault said, “There’s no question about negotiating the supply management for dairy and other products.”

What the fuck does this mean? There's no context for it. It could mean he wants to change the supply management system or it could mean he doesn't want to touch it.

This is a horribly written article full of sentence fragments and very little context.

I can't help with the article but his sentence seems to be translated from French, or built like it was. It's much clearer if you can imagine he said it in French.

If he said, or thought "Il n'est pas question de négocier...", it translates to "there's no question", but it means there is no possibility, that it's not on the radar, that it won't change. It's an expression that just implies a strong no.
