The Federal Crop Insurance Act
should be made more flexible so
that Ontario can get on with
improving its crop insurance pro
grams, according to the Christian
Farmers Federation of Ontario.
The CFFO Provincial Board has
endorsed, with one exception, the
proposals for program changes that
the Ontario Crop Insurance Com
mission has drafted.
They endorsed a new cost shar
ing arrangement: the federal
government pays 50 per cent
farmers pay 35 per cent and the
provincial government pays 15 per
cent of premiums. The province
would also pay for administration
of the present arrangement. At
present, the premiums are shared
50-50 between the federal govern
ment and user while the province
pays for administration.
The CFFO Board supported the
development of options that allow
coverage above 80 per cent of
average yield. However, it does not
want cost sharing arrangements
extended to them. Users should
pay for the. full costs of such

options, according to the Federa
tion.
The Federation supports flexi
bility in the federal act to allow for
coverage adjustments when farm
entrepreneurs adopt new farm
practices.
The proposed changes do not
include spot loss coverage or
separate farm coverage.
“These changes to the federal
act will allow Ontario to get on with
trailoring crop insurance to the
needs of the 1990’s,” said Jack
Vanderkooy, CFFO President.
“They go a long way to meeting the
concerns that we have about the
program.”

Proposed bill protects public
A bill to revise the Veterinarians
Act was introduced in the Legisla
ture recently by Ontario Minister of
Agriculture and Food Jack Riddell.
“The purpose of this bill is to
make revisions to the existing
Veterinarians Act to better protect
the interests of the public,” Mr.
Riddell said. He emphasized that
the proposed bill “will ensure an
optimum level of public protec
tion.”
The revised act is modelled after
legislation covering other self-
governing professions, and was
/ developed after extensive consulta
tion with the parties affected by the
act, Riddell said.
The bill will also ensure protec
tion of the rights of veterinarians in
the event of actions taken by the
governing body. Present veterinary
practice standards are set in the
by-laws of the Ontario Veterinary
Association, passed by members at
annual general meetings.
When the bill is passed, the
Ontario Veterinary Association will
become the College of Veterinari
ans of Ontario, with responsibility
for administering standards, ac
crediting veterinarians and veteri
nary clinics, handling public'com
plaints and disciplining members.
