When the CBC commented on Colin Thatcher's court appearance this week, they didn't quote what he SAID; rather, they described what he wore, including work boots. Maybe the media are afflicted with a foot and truck fetish. Pars

As a proponent of short term insurance, as a method of bankable individualized coverage I note that had this system been implemented these folk could have purchased short term insurance to cover their deliveries. They could be applying for insurance now.

The special crop processors lobbied for this change we suggested the risk insurance could include other sectors like the feed sector, a system which leaves the feed handling industry exempt, we were shut down. The Bill died on the order desk. The reasons for its demise in the folk lore of yet another missed opportunity to make AG policy simpler and more efficient,and less bureaucratic.

Pity.

Perhaps it is time to request this very simple solution again, a solution that works quite fine in Ontario, thank you very much... (it is not only the dual market they have, but they have short term risk insurance too!)
