 Hello, I'm Lana Popham, BC's Minister of Agriculture, Food and Fish. These past months have been incredibly difficult for people and communities affected by the unprecedented flooding and landslides. All British Columbians can be proud of the resilience and strength that has been shown collectively in the face of some truly trying times. Your BC government has been working with the federal government to help our province build back better, and this announcement is a milestone agreement to helping get our farming communities back into production. The flooding that happened in November hit our farming families hard, but it has resulted in the largest agricultural recovery response in BC's history. We have secured $228 million in provincial and federal funding to help get farmers get their businesses back on track while building back better our regional and provincial food security and food economy. We have worked with farmers and farming organizations at each step of the way to make sure this response will work for them. In combination with the crop insurance and income protection programs we operate, we are confident that it will help get them back into production again. I would like to thank my federal colleague, Minister Bebo, for all of the hard work from her team to help develop this joint government response. I would also like to thank the BC Dairy Association, the BC Honey Producers, BC Chicken Producers, BC Pork, BC Blueberry Council, Organics BC, BC Agriculture Council for all of their input that was used to develop this recovery package. The last few months have been incredibly difficult. This recovery package allows us all to take a deep breath together and turn our minds to the next chapter of rebuilding. Applications are available at the link below and Ministry staff are happy to offer assistance to applicants in both English and Punjabi so BC farmers can return to growing the food British Columbians need.
