Governments seem determined to end the market revenue insurance program in Ontario, too. The clear determination of government officials to move to major, if not full, dependence on NISA is worrying. No messy problems in judging need. One size fits all. Predictable expenditures from year to year - and more.

Recent government actions in the realm of crop insurance are equally disturbing. SDRM is, effectively, an additional NISA top-up for edible hort crop producers. SDRM is not insurance, but it's better than nothing. The proposed SDRM program, described to non-hort groups in early September, was reasonably consistent with this view. Commodities would be in crop insurance or SDRM, but not both.
