Huron Federation president Nick Whyte is pleased that the $1.5 billion announcement is not a re -announcement of previously allocated dollars, and "if the flow of money comes along with a change in inventory valuation and negative mar- gins in the Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization (CAIS) calculations, then it's a step in the right direction, but there is still a need for a long term program, such as the Risk Management Program that farmers have presented to govern- ment," he added. "There is an acknowledgment at the political level of an urgent need in Canada's farm commu- nity for immediate assistance," says Ron Bonnett, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. "What we need now is to work with the federal government to ensure that the funding will flow to farmers in desperate need." Bob Friesen, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture says, "On April 5, 10,000 farmers from across Canada came to Ottawa to showcase the unprecedented farm income crisis and to look for hope from the government." "$1.5 billion dollars is a lot of money, but if that money doesn't get to farmers quickly and to the right places, all the money in the world isn't going to fix the problem," Friesen added. Farm organizations are concerned that distribu- tion of the funding through CAIS, as it is formulat- ed now, will continue to create inequities in farm and rural communities across Canada into the future. Ontario's farm organizations also note that Ontario Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs Leona Dombrowsky, has shown leadership and has taken the first step in discussions to address the need for multi-year programs for Ontario's agricultural industry. "We hope Dombrowsky and federal Minister Chuck Strahl will continue to work together to address the need for a long term program that benefits all farmers," added Whyte.
