Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau says the federal government will ensure that dairy farmers have access to compensation as quickly as possible after they lost domestic market share from recent free trade agreements.
Bibeau also says in a statement that she is confident compensation for the poultry and egg sectors will be finalized in the near future.
Bibeau says she also wants to ensure that agriculture sector has access to risk management programs that suit it.
She says federal, provincial and territorial ministers will discuss risk management programs, particularly the AgriStability program, at their next meeting in December.
