Farmers to receive $600 million transition aid under AFP plan
Agriculture minister Lyie Vanclief announces $600 million in federal transition assistance to help farmers hurt by drought. Payments, based on 4.25 percent of five year average net sales, will flow over two years with faster delivery promised. Existing NISA CFIP and crop insurance remain in place, and eligible farmers will be notified via withdrawal entitlements with a 30 day response window.

Canada NISA funds pledged to be equitably shared by producers
Mr Vanclief defends the NISA program as universally designed to treat all producers the same while allowing flexible use of funds. He notes the need for equitable distribution across diverse farms and urges examples of how payments will be delivered. He says additional aid should go to those facing adverse conditions, but the plan aims to be universal.
