Program updates

More time to secure coverage

To give farmers more time and flexibility to make decisions, the government of Ontario has extended the 2023 deadline to apply or make coverage changes to June 30, 2023.

​Funding partners

RMP is provincially funded only, meaning the Ontario government funds its traditional 40% share. Producers pay part of the premium cost and none of the administration cost. Administrative costs are fully funded by the provincial government. The 40% funding is reflected in the payment calculation and premium rates.​​
