National Grain Safety Net Plan Seeks Unified Support
Government reviews ad hoc aid for farmers spanning 1986 to 1990 and aims to replace multiple programs with a single national grain safety net. A committee led by Agriculture Canada's National Grains Bureau in Winnipeg will propose options by April 1990 and draft legislation by December 1990. Independent groups and producer representatives may comment via designated channels. The Canadian Wheat Board plans initial payments each April to aid seeding, with market information enhanced through a new bureau publication launching in March after farmer consultations.
