The Disaster Financial Assistance Program provides financial coverage to producers suffering uninsured losses. For years, producers have commented on the program’s shortcomings. E.g., farms with gross revenues above $2 million were ineligible, and the province provided a maximum $240,000 payout.

The updated regulations increase the maximum yearly gross revenue to $15 million, raises the maximum payment to $3 million, and eliminates the outdated ownership requirement. KAP’s ongoing asks involve improved service standards and regular regulatory reviews.
