Summary in English
The CAIS program is a joint Federal/Provincial/Territorial Business Risk Management (BRM) program under the Agricultural Policy Framework (APF). It integrates stabilization and disaster protection into a single program, helping producers protect their farming operations from both small and large decreases in income in a given year.
In order to ensure consistency with international trade agreements, the maximum government contribution to a producer in a program year is 70 percent of the margin decline in the program year relative to the reference margin (includes cost-sharing with provinces and territories) or capped at $3 million.
This report provides an overview of both participating and non-participating farms in the 2004 CAIS program.
In 2004, there were approximately 132,000 participants in the CAIS Program.
