From the federal budget....

""""":Following the recent ratifications of CETA and CPTPP, Budget 2019 proposes up to $3.9 billion in support for supply-managed farmers:

Support will be offered to sustain the incomes of eligible dairy, poultry, and egg farmers, by making available up to $2.4 billion.*Of this amount, $250 million has already been provided to support dairy farmers as a result of CETA,*therefore a net amount of up to $2.15 billion will be available in coming years to deal with income losses associated with these agreements; and
Assistance will also be offered to protect the value of investments made by farmers in supply-managed sectors, through a Quota Value Guarantee Program that will protect against reduction in quota value when the quota is sold. $1.5 billion has been set aside for this demand-driven program.""""":

But we need another loan that helps out so much.

Borrow borrow and borrow some more western farmers the 100 billion in Debt you are right now doesn't matter.

Like 27 Billion at 40% lost market share is 10 Billion boys and girls.

Richardson sent the first shot across the Gov bow this week with the comment a loss of a market that size cant be replaced in a minute it takes years and here are one thing boys and girls the other countries that buy from us aren't stupid. They will drive the price down knowing full well we can't sell and will have excess product.

NO....


Even under the CWB western Canadian farmers never received that kind of help due to the incompetence of trade deals made by government....

Even a cumulative total wouldn't add to that in the last 20 years.
