I think it would be reasonable to have different applications for each region of Canada, because farming varies greatly from one region to the next, and therefore the needs also vary greatly. I do not believe that standardizing the income security program across Canada would be very effective. I think that is why the stakeholders had requested that the provinces be allowed to manage the AgriFlexibility funds as they see fit.
