Highlights

Record high program payments reached in 2003 Program payments rose to a record $4.9 billion in 2003, shattering the previous record of $3.8 billion in 1992. Total payments remained 81.1% above the previous five-year average. The majority of the 41.6% jump in program payments last year occurred in the form of payments delivered through three separate types of programs. These were: the 2003 Transition Funding program, assistance programs provided to help offset the impact of the BSE-related ban, and crop insurance programs. Canadian farmers received more than $1.0 billion through both the 2003 Transition Funding and the BSE-related programs. (The Transition Funding program was implemented to support the agricultural industry during the period of transition to the new Agricultural Policy Framework.) Note of Appreciation Canada owes the success of its statistical system to a long-standing partnership between Statistics Canada, the citizens of Canada, its businesses, governments and other institutions. Accurate and timely statistical information could not be produced without their continued cooperation and goodwill.

Explanatory Notes on Direct Program Payments to Producers Payments Enhancing Receipts Agricultural Stabilization Act (ASA) - Price Stabilization The A.S.A., enacted in 1958, provides payments to producers in every province during periods of low commodity prices. Payments are made whenever the average market prices of commodities covered under the Act fall below calculated support prices. Mandatory support is provided for cattle, hogs, lambs and wool; industrial milk and industrial cream; corn and soybeans; and spring wheat, winter wheat, oats and barley not produced in the designated area of the Canadian Wheat Board. Other commodities may be designated for support by the Governor in Council. Agricultural Stabilization Act (ASA) - Tripartite Plans Under an amendment to the A.S.A., in 1985, stabilization plans can be established on a commodity basis. Each commodity stabilization plan provides for price stabilization according to pre-set formulae. Payments are made to producers whenever market prices fall below the stabilization price. By September 1987, plans had been established in various provinces for the following commodities: slaughter cattle, feeder cattle, feeder calves, hogs, lambs, white beans, coloured beans, sugar beets and apples. Starting in 1999, payments under this program (mainly recoveries of overpayments) are included in the Other Payments category. Crop Insurance The Crop Insurance Act, enacted in 1959, makes available to farmers, in every province, all-risk crop insurance. Dairy Subsidy Under the Canadian Dairy Commission Act, enacted in 1966, producers in every province except Newfoundland are paid subsidies on shipments of industrial milk and cream that do not exceed Canadian requirements. Gross Revenue Insurance Plan (GRIP) The Gross Revenue Insurance Plan (GRIP) was established in 1991 under the Farm Income Protection Act. GRIP builds on crop insurance by providing producers with revenue protection by offering price support in addition to yield protection. Payments are made when a producer's market revenue falls below a predetermined target revenue. In 1991, grain and oilseed and speciality crop producers were eligible to participate in GRIP. Starting in 1999, payments under this program (mainly recoveries of overpayments) are included in the Other Payments category.

Income Disaster Assistance Programs This category includes the Agricultural Income Disaster Assistance (AIDA) program, its related provincial disaster programs and beginning in 2001, the Canadian Farm Income Program (CFIP). These programs are designed to provide funding for Canadian agricultural producers to cushion extreme income reductions beyond their control. The AIDA-related provincial programs are: • Agricultural Disaster Insurance Program (ADIP),

Prince Edward Island • Ontario Whole Farm Relief Program (OWFRP),

Ontario • Farm Income Disaster Program (FIDP), Alberta • B.C. Whole Farm Insurance Program (WFIP), British

Columbia. Readers should note that not all disaster programs are included in the Disaster Income Assistance Programs category. In Quebec, the majority of AIDA funding is directed into the Provincial Income Stabilization Program. This program is not included in the Disaster Income Assistance Programs category because the AIDA support makes up a small portion of the Provincial Stabilization payments. Payments under ad hoc programs that compensate for losses due to natural disasters (e.g. ice storm, flood) are recorded in the Other Payments category. Agricultural Income Disaster Assistance (AIDA) Program (1999 to present) The Agricultural Income Disaster Assistance (AIDA) program was designed to provide assistance to producers facing dramatic income declines in 1998 and 1999 as a result of factors beyond their control and for which existing programs could not provide assurance of continuing the farm business. Funded 60% by the federal government and 40% by provincial governments, AIDA is available to anyone in Canada who files income tax returns as a farmer, and whose gross margin has dropped below 70% of their average gross margin over the previous three years. For beginning farmers, a special calculation is used to determine eligibility. The AIDA program provides individual payments to eligible producers and credits to the provincial governments for programs already established to assist producers. The provincial programs (this list is not exhaustive) that are partly funded by the AIDA program are: • Agricultural Disaster Insurance Program (ADIP),

Prince Edward Island; • Assurance stabilisation du revenu agricole (ASRA),

Québec



• Ontario Whole Farm Relief Program (OWFRP), Ontario

• Farm Income Disaster Program (FIDP), Alberta • B.C. Whole Farm Insurance Program (BCWFIP),

British Columbia. Agricultural Disaster Insurance Program (ADIP) (1996 to present) The Agricultural Disaster Insurance Program was designed to provide individual farm operations in Prince Edward Island relief from financial losses caused by disastrous changes in commodity prices, rising input costs, and/or unpredictable production losses. The program calculates an annual program margin defined in general as the difference between all commodity sales and most operating expenses (except wages, interest, rent, property taxes, and depreciation). If the current year's margin falls below 70% of the average of the previous three years' program margin, the farm may be eligible for a payment. The farm is eligible for a payment if the drop in the program margin is attributed to a decrease in commodity sale prices per unit; and/or an increase in farm input costs per unit; and/or a loss in productivity (i.e., crop destroyed, animal diseases, etc.). Ontario Farm Income Disaster Program (2001 to present) The Ontario Farm Income Disaster Program (OFIDP) is a whole farm program designed to provide financial support to farmers who experience a significant drop in their income for reasons beyond their control such as declining prices, poor crop yields and increased expenses. The funding is provided to the farmer whose gross margin in the claim year falls below 70% of either their previous 3-year average or their olympic 5-year average. Ontario Whole Farm Relief Program (OWFRP) (1999 to present) The Ontario Whole Farm Relief Program was introduced in December 1998 to provide financial assistance to farmers suffering from extremely low commodity prices and weather-related disasters. Funding is provided to individual farmers whose gross margins for the reference year fall below 70 per cent of their three to five year average. Farm Income Disaster Program (FIDP) This program was established in 1995, and is available to Alberta farmers. It provides a measure of stability against fluctuations in the farm’s program margin which is the difference between allowable farm revenue and expenses. It is a whole farm program, which means all agricultural commodities are eligible.

B.C. Whole Farm Insurance Program (1997 to present) The Whole Farm Insurance Program is a voluntary program instituted in 1997 for British Colombia farmers. The objective is to reduce extreme income reductions that are beyond the farmer’s control. Eligible farmers may apply for a claim when their current year program margin falls below 70 per cent of their reference margin. Net Income Stabilization Account (NISA) The Net Income Stabilization Account (NISA) was established in 1991 under the Farm Income Protection Act. The purpose of NISA is to encourage producers to save portion of their income for use during periods of reduced income. Producers can deposit up to 3% of their “Eligible Net Sales” (ENS) annually in their NISA account and receive matching government contributions. The federal government and several provinces offer enhanced matching contributions over and above the base 3% on specified commodities. All these deposits earn a 3% interest bonus in addition to the regular rates offered by the financial institution where the account is held. Most primary agricultural products are included in the calculation of “Eligible Net Sales” (sales of qualifying commodities minus purchases of qualifying commodities), the main exception being those covered by supply management (dairy, poultry and eggs). The NISA account is comprised of two funds. Fund No. 1 holds producer deposits while Fund No. 2 contains the matching government contributions and all accumulated interest earned on both Fund 1 and Fund 2. Included as payments in the series «Direct Program Payments to Producers» are the producer withdrawals from Fund 2. Provincial Stabilization Programs (1971 to present) Under provincial stabilization programs (P.S.P.), payments are made in order to support either producer incomes or prices for selected commodities. Western Grain Stabilization The Western Grain Stabilization Act, enacted in 1976, was established to stabilize producers' net proceeds from the production and sale of wheat, oats, barley, rye, flaxseed, canola and mustard seed produced in the Prairie provinces and the Peace River region of British Columbia. Amendments to the Act in 1988 provided for the addition of nine crops to the seven currently covered. These included: triticale; mixed grains; sunflower; safflower; buckwheat; peas; lentils; fababeans; canary seed. Starting in 1999, payments under this program (mainly recoveries of overpayments) are included in the Other Payments category.



Other Payments These payments are generally provided under ad hoc municipal, provincial and/or federal government programs established to deal with unusual climatic or economic conditions in the agriculture sector. Also included are payments made under several on-going programs. The following is a brief description of the programs under "Other Payments". The programs are listed in alphabetical order. Acreage Payments Under the Act to Authorize the Payment of Special Emergency Grants to Farmers, Manitoba producers received a grant for each acre of land comprising his farm in 1971. Agricultural Disaster Insurance Program (ADIP) (1996 to present) Prior to 1999, payments under the Agricultural Disaster Insurance Program (ADIP) are classified in the Other Payments category.

"Aide aux exploitations ovines affectées par la tremblante" (2000) This program offers financial assistance to Quebec sheep producers who had to eliminate part of their herd between January 1, 1997 and October 27, 1998. These slaughters were made as part of control measures administered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to combat scrapie. This program is funded entirely by the Government of Quebec. Alberta Farm Income Assistance Program (AFIAP) (2000 to present) The Alberta Farm Income Assistance Program (AFIAP) provides Alberta producers (who were farming as of December 31, 1999) with an agricultural assistance package designed to supplement declining farm income due to extreme weather conditions, continuous low commodity prices, and growing input costs. This payment provides qualifying farmers with $10.29 per acre for all cultivated acres, and $3.00 per acre on native pasture.

Alberta Farm Income Assistance Program 2002 The Alberta Farm Income Assistance Program-2002 provided an acreage based payment to producers suffering from adverse weather conditions, low income and pest problems in 2002. Alberta Fed Cattle Competitive Bid program This program was designed to temporarily reduce the inventory of steers and heifers available for slaughter with the effect of increasing producers’ cash flows and market price. This was achieved by setting aside animals from the slaughter queue for a minimum 8-week period and compensating producers for the market deficiencies. Alberta Winter Feed Program This program assisted producers to adequately care for their livestock over the winter months. Fed Cattle Competitive Market Adjustment Program The program encouraged producers to sell slaughter weight fed heifers or steers by compensating them on a sliding scale. Unlike the competitive bid program, this program did not include an option for producers to set aside a portion of their own herd. Rather, all cattle were required to enter the competitive marketplace. Assistance to Feedlot Operators (1988 to 1989) Feedlot operators in British Columbia received payments on a per animal fed basis, to encourage the feeding of more cattle for slaughter in the province. B.C. Whole Farm Insurance Program (1997 to present) Prior to 1999, payments under B.C. Whole Farm Insurance Program are classified in the Other Payments category. Starting in 1999, payments under this program are included in the Income Disaster Assistance Program category. For program description, please look under the “Income Disaster Assistance Programs “ category.

Beef Cow-Calf Assistance (1985 to 1995) Under the Beef Cow-Calf Assistance Program, payments are provided to Prince Edward Island livestock producers as an incentive for following certain management practices aimed at improving the quality of beef calves.



Beef Cattle and Sheep Support Under the Beef Cattle and Sheep Support Program, payments were made to Alberta producers in 1982 for bred cows and heifers on inventory as well as feeders, slaughter cattle and lambs sold. Beef Enhancement Under the Beef Stabilization Plan, productivity enhancement grants were provided to Manitoba producers. These grants were paid on a per cow basis over the 1982 to 1986 period to encourage cattle production. Beef Industry Assistance Under the Beef Industry Assistance Program, Saskatchewan producers received grants on a proportion of their cow herd in order to offset some of the losses on the 1976 calf crop. The grant was also provided to prevent producers from liquidating all or part of the breeding herds in order to reduce their debt load. Beef Performance Program (1995 to 2000) The Beef Performance Program was designed to encourage Nova Scotia beef producers to stablize farm income by participating in Net Income Stabilization Account (NISA) program. It is exclusively a provincial initiative of the Nova Scotia government. Beef producers who meet the eligibility requirements may choose to receive program payments under Option A – NISA Based Performance Program or Option B – Beef Gross Margin Performance Program. Included in the Direct Program Payments (DPP) series are the second payment under Option A and the first and second payments under Option B. The first payment under Option A was not accounted as Direct Program Payments since beef producers have to deposit it in their NISA account. Beef Quality Incentive (2000 to present) The Beef Quality Incentive is part of a comprehensive program designed to encourage the marketing of finished beef cattle that meet the specifications of the “Atlantic Tender Beef Classic” branded beef program. The incentive of $0.03 per pound, based on carcass weight is available to Prince Edward Island producers who are enrolled in the “Atlantic Tender Beef Classic” branded beef program.

PEI Cattle Marketing Initiative The Department of Agriculture and Forestry in consultation with the PEI cattlemen’s Association has established the Cattle Marketing Initiative to provide a means of stabilizing producer prices for cattle going to slaughter. Permanent Cover Crop Program (1991 to 1992) The primary objective of the Permanent Cover Program was to reduce soil degradation on marginal lands that had high erosion risk under annual cultivation. It provided assistance to farmers to convert eligible lands from annual crops to perennial forage or tree cover. An initial seeding payment – Permanent Cover Establishment Assistance – was paid to offset some of the cash costs related to plantings forages or trees. Farmers who chose to sign long-term contracts subsequently received a second payment – Land Use Contract Assistance – intended to offset some of the costs related to changing from growing annual crops to growing permanent cover crops. Included in the Direct Program Payments (DPP) series is the initial payment only. The Permanent Cover Program was entirely funded by the Government of Canada and delivered through PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration), within four

Replant Adjustment Program Losses (1992 to 1993) This program guarantees growers a specific annual revenue per acre during the first three years following the replant of orchards to new varieties. Saskatchewan Fed Livestock Competitive Market Adjustment Program This program was designed to compensate producers who sell their eligible cattle in a competitive market. Producers are compensated for a portion of their market loss. Saskatchewan Set-Aside Program The program was designed to allow producers to access the same level of compensation that is available under the Slaughter Element of the BSE Recovery Program without having to market their livestock for slaughter. By allowing cattle feeders to set-aside 10% (or 45 head which ever is greater) of their eligible livestock, fewer cattle will be available for slaughter, possibly creating a positive impact on fat cattle prices. SIR Clean up and Compliance Grant (2000 to 2001) The Clean-up Compliance Grant is a component of the Sterile Insect Release program (SIR) in British Columbia. It is designed to partially offset the additional costs of an intensive spray program or other pest management methods that are required to reduce wild codling moth populations.

The objective of the Special Transitional Payment was to make a one time payment to growers who would have otherwise qualified for a payment under the Transitional Production Adjustment Program (TPAP) for 1994, 1995 and 1996 plantings. Eligible producers were orchard operators who had satisfactorily completed a replant project, under the Okanagan Valley Tree Fruit Authority Replant Program in 1994, 1995 or 1996. Special Tree Fruit Assistance Under this 1991 program tree fruit growers in British Columbia received financial support for maintenance of the longer term viability of the industry. The assistance was targeted to several areas including marketing, research and development and the replanting of orchards to profitable varieties. Stop Loss for Hogs Under the 1980-81 Emergency Stop Loss Program for Hogs, payments were made to Alberta producers whenever market prices for slaughter hogs fell below specified support prices. Straw for Feed Due to the 1985 drought conditions, payments were made under the Straw for Feed Program to British Columbia grain producers who sold straw to livestock



producers. Sugar Beet Incentive Producers in Manitoba and Alberta were provided with an incentive grant to produce sugar beets in 1986. Sugar Beet Subsidy Payments on a per tonne basis were made to Manitoba sugar beet producers because of low sugar prices in 1985. Swine Incentive Under the Swine Incentive Policy, established in 1985, payments are provided to Prince Edward Island producers on all hogs marketed and on all hogs marketed above individually established base production. Swine Processing Enhancing Program (1999 to 2000) The Swine Processing Enhancing Program provides financial assistance to producers in New Brunswick for hogs slaughtered in this province. When the market price drops below the set floor price, the provincial government and the processors each pay half of the difference to hog producers (up to a maximum contribution of $20 per hog from each). The processors retain the right to “claw-back” from the producers, if hog prices improve, any of their contribution over $10 per hog. The Direct Program Payments to Producers series includes half of the payments made to hog producers under this program, the portion corresponding to the government contribution to payments. The Farm Cash Receipts series includes the total payments made under this program. Temporary Guidelines Modifications Under the Crop Insurance Modifications to Retain Feed in Drought Areas Program, payments were provided on 1985 crops cut for feed purposes to encourage Alberta farmers to cut as much drought affected crop as possible for feed. Tobacco Deficiency Payment (1990) A loss encountered by the Tobacco Board when it purchased surplus tobacco was covered by the Agricultural Products Co-op Marketing Agency. 1996 Transitional Production Adjustment Program (TPAP) Under the Tree Fruit Revitalization Program, this program was designed to guarantee British Columbia orchardists a specific annual revenue per acre during the first three years, following replant of orchards to new high density tree fruit varieties.

Transition Financial Assistance (TFA) Program Under the Tree Fruit Revitalization program, this program provided further transition assistance to tree fruit growers, while helping to offset the impact of lower prices for their 1993 and 1994 crop. The program also provided transition assistance from the previous support programs to the on-going Net Income Stabilization Account (NISA) Program. Transportation Adjustment Fund (TAF) (2000 to 2002) Transportation Adjustment Fund (TAF) is a one time Provincial payment in British Columbia, intended to give financial assistance to grain and oilseed growers to offset increased transportation costs. Two Price Wheat Program In accordance with the provisions of Order-in-Council dated April 18, 1972 and April 17, 1973, payments were made directly to producers for wheat used for human consumption in Canada. Between 1974 and 1978 the payments were made to producers through the Canadian Wheat Board and the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board under the Two Price Wheat Act enacted in 1973. In provinces where wheat boards were not established, payments were made directly to producers. Waterfowl Damage Payments have been made to farmers every year since 1972 to minimize crop losses caused by migratory waterfowl. Weanling Pig Bonus Under the Weanling Bonus Incentive Program, established in 1976, payments were made to Newfoundland and Labrador producers for each weanling pig produced. Weather-Related Loss Provision Program (2000 to present) The Weather-Related Loss Provision Program is designed to assist Nova Scotia farmers who are recovering from financial losses to their farm incurred in the 1997 growing seasons as the direct result of adverse weather conditions.

All series can be obtained free on the internet at the Statistics Canada web site (www.statcan.ca). Notes on concepts and methods are also included for each data series. The electronic publication is first available in June. It includes preliminary figures for the calendar year just ended. The following January, the publication is re-issued with revisions to the preliminary estimates. Revisions to the June issue can extend back two years, while those in January generally apply to three years. The date provided at the top right corner of each table is the last time that a revision was made to that table. The Client Services and Marketing Unit, Agriculture Division, Statistics Canada can be contacted at 1 (800) 465-1991 or by email at [email protected] for further information and/or to obtain data in a different medium. Statistics Canada is committed to ensuring that there is no disclosure of confidential material and therefore all data are subjected to restrictions prior to release. Direct Program Payments to Producers Tables on direct program payments to producers are included in this publication from 1971 to date. Estimates are presented by program and by year at the provincial

and national levels. Except for the gross payments made for the major programs, these data are not available on CANSIM. Concepts Direct program payments to producers represent the amounts paid under various government agricultural programs. Only those payments related to current agricultural production and paid directly to individuals involved in agricultural production are included. These cover: • subsidies to encourage production, • subsidies to compensate producers for low market

returns, • payments to stabilize income, • subsidies to reduce expenditures on farm inputs,

and • payments to compensate producers for crop or

livestock losses caused by extreme climatic conditions, disease or other reasons.

Funding for the various agricultural programs under which direct payments are made is provided by the federal, provincial or municipal governments or is cost shared by various levels of government as well as producers themselves. In those instances where producers contribute to the funding of programs, the premiums associated with these programs are treated as an operating expense. Payments made under private programs such as private hail and livestock insurance are not included in the direct program payments series. However, these private programs are accounted for in the Farm Cash Receipts series Direct program payments are reflected in the farm cash receipts and operating expenses series and, thus, in the net farm income estimates. The expenses series includes rebates or subsidies made to reduce input expenditures and, where applicable, the expenditures incurred by producers in the funding of programs. All other direct payments are included in the farm cash receipts series. The direct program payments series does not attempt to cover all payments made to producers nor does it represent total government expenditures under all assistance programs. The following type of payments are excluded: • indirect payments, • transfer payments, and • capital grants. Federal, provincial and municipal programs providing direct payments to producers represent one aspect of assistance. Indirect payments, which are more

predominant in some provinces than in others, also provide assistance to producers. Indirect payments to producers are provided under various programs. Payments are considered indirect when government funds are directed to a third party, outside the agriculture sector, for the benefit of producers. The boundaries of the sector extend to the first transaction point between agricultural producers and the purchasers of farm products. As well, the boundaries are limited on the input side by the first transaction point between agricultural producers and the suppliers of farm inputs. Most of the indirect payments either reduce producers' purchase costs of farm inputs or enhance returns from the sale of farm products. A wide variety of programs provide indirect payments, including those that reduce property taxes, transportation costs, fuel costs or interest costs as well as those directed at research, marketing or promotion. Transfer payments are directed at individuals rather than at a specific industry. Payments such as training allowances are excluded from the direct program payments series because they are not directed at the agriculture industry but to individuals, regardless of their occupation. A number of agricultural programs provide capital assistance grants. These grants are available directly to producers in order to improve or increase storage facilities or to assist in the purchase of equipment. Capital grants are excluded from the direct program payments series because they are not related to current production.

Federal Agri-Food Expenditures 1982-1983 and 1983-1984, Monique Rodier, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Development Policy Directorate, Working Paper, Ottawa, September 1985. Federal Agri-Food Expenditures 1970-1971 to 1982-1983, Marcel Huot, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Development Policy Directorate, Working Paper, Ottawa, December 1984. Methods The estimates of direct program payments to producers include all payments made directly to producers under federal, provincial and municipal programs. All payments data are obtained from administrative sources.

Direct program payments represent the amounts actually received by producers on a calendar year basis with the exception of the "Other payments" category, which includes some payments on a fiscal year basis. Although a program may be established in a given year, the payments to producers may be spread over two or more calendar years. In all cases, program payments are allocated to the year during which they are actually received by producers. Estimates of net farm income encompass direct program payments either in the farm cash receipts or the farm operating expenses and depreciation charges series. Payments integrated in the cash receipts series include those under the Farm Income Protection Act (the Gross Revenue Insurance Plan and the Net Income Stabilization Account), the Crop Insurance Act, the Western Grain Stabilization Act, the Agricultural Stabilization Act, Tripartite Plans, Provincial Stabilization Programs, the Canadian Dairy Commission Act and those made under ad hoc government programs ("Other payments"). Note that private programs such as private hail insurance and private livestock insurance are included in the Farm Cash Receipts series under “Private hail insurance payments” and “Other payments”, respectively. In the Direct Program Payments section, the “Other payments” include only government programs. Direct program payments are shown explicitly in farm expenses. Where rebates apply, gross expense estimates are followed by rebates and then net expenses. Program premiums paid by producers are included in the "Stabilization premiums" category. Prior to 1971, rebates were deducted from expenses and only the net expenses were reported. Data Comparability There are no significant breaks in the direct program payments series which limit the comparability of the data over time. Data Quality As indicated above, the direct program payments series is estimated using administrative sources of data. Where necessary, data are adjusted to ensure conceptual consistency with the program payments series. The data obtained have been summarized from the financial transactions of individual producers. These summarized data are often subject to audit by independent professional accountants and/or are used to make payments to individual producers. As a result, the quality of these data is considered to be very good. However, the data are subject to the general non-sampling errors present in all types of administrative data.



Data Revisions Annual direct program payments data are published twice each year, at the end of May and at the end of November. In May, payments for the previous two calendar years are subject to revision. In November, payments for the previous three years may be revised. In November 2003, intercensal revisions were released for the period 1991 to 2002. All series were revised in accordance with the results of the 2001 Census of Agriculture. At the same time, conceptual and methodological changes, improved coverage and changes in sources were also implemented. Due to the nature of the data used in the program payments series, revisions have not been frequent and, when they have occurred, they have usually been quite small. Rebates Concepts National and provincial estimates of rebates paid directly to farmers represent a reduction in business costs incurred in the production of agricultural commodities. Rebates, paid by various governments, are calculated on a calendar year basis. Methods and Data Quality The rebate estimates include all payments made directly to producers under federal, provincial and municipal expense reducing programs. Administrative data are obtained directly from provincial departments of agriculture and of finance. Current rebate programs include: Prince Edward Island: Lean Beef Program (livestock purchase rebate) Nova Scotia: Sire Improvement Program (livestock purchase rebate) Agriculture Limestone Assistance Program (lime rebate) Loss Provision Program (interest rebate) New Brunswick: Beef Producers Sire Assistance Policy (livestock purchase rebate) Cattle Retention Program (interest rebate) Quebec: Property Tax Rebate Program Interest Rebate Program

Ontario: Motor Fuel Tax Rebate Direct Cash Wages Rebate Saskatchewan: Farm Fuel Program Alberta: Interest Rebate Program As the data are obtained directly from those agencies administering the rebate programs, and making payments to the producers, they are deemed to be of good quality. For more information on historical programs, please see the footnotes following the Direct Payments tables.
