Cash Flow Assistance Program

That Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada implement a special interest-free loan program that will provide cattle and hog producers with cash flow before the end of 2007.

Although all the parties involved agree that these farm businesses should be compensated through a disaster assistance program, which would be better adapted and separate from the income stabilization program, no one is able to respond rapidly and immediately, within the framework of existing programs, to the urgent cash-flow problem.

This government provides ongoing programming which will assist producers with their cash-flow needs for spring seeding.

The major decreases on a year-over-year basis include the following: $1.6 billion reduction in the forecast of EI benefit payments; $500 million reduction in the forecast of public debt costs; $260 million as a result of adjustments to equalization to Quebec this year for tax credit provided last year to compensate Quebec for its Youth Allowances program; $287 million reduction in one-time funding to assist departments and agencies in addressing Year 2000 compliance requirements; $225 million reduction reflecting the wind-down of the Canadian Fisheries Adjustment and Restructuring Program; $112 million in the Canada Student Loans Pr ...[+++]ogram, reflecting a decrease in the liabilities estimated for the program, given that no guaranteed loans were established after August 1995; and $110 million reduction for the Agricultural Income Disaster Assistance Program, reflecting the cash flow for this two-year program.
