This paragraph states that we will receive compensation for the shortfall under the new APF, as part of the risk management component. In such a situation, the federal government and the provincial governments will probably consult each other. If that is the case, producers may have to wait a long time before receiving compensation for loss of income caused by Avian influenza, for example.
In addition, there is talk of including that in a program on disasters, but we are wondering if producers would receive adequate compensation. You asked what we would prefer, and I would say we would prefer to receive compensation under the Health of Animals Act since only one level of government would be involved. In the case of an Avian influenza outbreak, if a producer had to get rid of his chickens, this would be a much quicker and easier solution.
