Federal, provincial and territorial Ministers of Agriculture are meeting in Calgary Today.  




Agriculture and Food Minister Mark Wartman will raise a number



of issues important to Saskatchewan producers at a meeting Today



of federal, provincial and territorial Ministers of Agriculture.  



He says addressing agriculture issues is an important element 



of making life better for Saskatchewan families and building a 



future here for our youth.  Ministers will be discussing the 



future of business risk management programming, including the 



recent improvements to the Canadian Agricultural Income 



Stabilization (CAIS) program, a proposed framework for a 



new Catastrophic Disaster Assistance Program and extending the



production insurance program to other commodities. Wartman 



will bring forward issues of concern – specifically, the 



affordability of business risk management programs.
