Certainly, within certain commodities such as horticulture, I think it probably makes sense to look at things nationally.
One of the problems we have within the Canadian Horticultural Council is that crop insurance is not offered for all the crops. There's a huge variation in how crop insurance is offered between provinces, which, as I indicated, creates disparity between a producer in one province versus one in another province. With potatoes specifically, and more specifically within seed potatoes, over the last number of years we've been working with the government on an insurance program for bacterial ring rot, which is one of the most devastating issues within the seed potato industry. We've been trying to find a solution to the losses that are incurred there, and we're looking at that one nationally.
Again, we run into the fact that some provinces actually have seed potatoes included in their crop insurance and others don't. The variation in how provincial crop insurance agencies view a crop such as seed potatoes makes it very difficult to come up with a national program that would equally address provinces from across the country.
Looking at things on a national basis, if we were going to do that, we would probably need to have the ability to do that on the whole commodity.
