Gerrard was a Liberal my and Secretary of state for science and tech Vanclief yesterday refused to com ment on any details of his proposed Aid package the fourth major government bailout in three did not deny that million has been part of discussions with farm the million has been a number that has been there is no question about Vanclief i cant say that is in the cards or not those Are the kinds of discus Sions that Are before Cabinet right this latest response to the ongoing farm crisis would be new Money on top of the current farm safety which is Worth about billion a year from both Ottawa and the it is also an attempt by the liberals to buy some peace on an Issue that has produced no end of farm liberals Hope Calmer Waters which could be secured As part of a longer term pack age will allow them to move from Cri Sis management to a More thorough overhaul of support programs and the agriculture sources say that if Vanclief comes through with the Aid pack age for Grain the Canadian federation of agriculture is prepared to not Only applaud the government but also try to end what have been escalating farm Vanclief will be meeting with his provincial counterparts in Quebec City next week where he is expected to seek provincial Cash provincial agriculture ministers like Manitoba Rosann Wowchuk have refused to say How much Money they believe is needed or what they Are prepared to commit until seeing what cards Vanclief lays on the Federal provincial cos sharing has been a Flash Point in past farm Aid pack with Vanclief trying unsuccessfully last year to get a 5050 Deal from

insurance run by the provinces As liberals Are still stinging from the controversy surrounding its agriculture income disaster assistance Aida was created As part of a 1998 and was roundly criticized for being too bureaucratic and i feel strongly that we need to work with the provinces and build upon the programs that we have there at the pre sent time which can address the situations in each individual Vanclief we dont need another new program is what i am the Cabinet proposal is not limited to farm Aid but will also include additional funding for food safety and the envy we know that up front there is definitely a Cash crunch but As we said in the speech from the we want to move beyond crisis management and in order to do we also know we need to look at issues like food safety and
