Thank you.
When we look at business risk management planning tools, especially on the income side, crop insurance does work in partnership with the federal government. But unfortunately, there are no companion programs available to Ontario producers. Ontario looks to the federal government for leadership, which is a terrible thing to have to live through and a terrible environment to farm in.
That's why we pointed to the $400 million that is currently on the table. We're saying that the sooner the will can be shown to distribute that money, the more likely we are to trigger our 40% matching funding from the province to turn that $400 million.... Well, if you look at historical funding allocations, Ontario's share is presumably going to be somewhere around $80 million. We can turn that $80 million into about $130 million, and that becomes a very meaningful injection of capital when farmers most need it.
To answer your question directly, unfortunately there are no companion programs in Ontario that are run in isolation of the federal government.
