Continuing APF Programming

The Government of Canada is working with provincial and territorial governments to sign bilateral agreements and finalize Growing Forward program details. While that progress continues, existing programs under the Agricultural Policy Framework (APF) will be extended for up to one year, starting April 1, 2008.

Details on Growing Forward programs, that will replace APF programs, will be announced during the course of the year.

Producers are invited to consult, by province, the list of all APF programming that will continue during the transition year in the areas of environment, food safety, innovation and renewal.
