Le tout respectueusement soumis. Original Signed By Ron Kostyshyn Le ministre de l‘Agriculture, de l‘Alimentation et des Initiatives rurales, Ron Kostyshyn Bureau du sous-ministre Palais législatif, bureau 159 Winnipeg (Manitoba) R3C 0V8 Tél. : 204 945-3734 www.manitoba.ca Monsieur Ron Kostyshyn Ministre de l‘Agriculture, de l‘Alimentation et des Initiatives rurales Gouvernement du Manitoba Monsieur le Ministre, J‘ai l‘honneur de vous présenter le rapport annuel du ministère de l‘Agriculture, de l‘Alimentation et des Initiatives rurales du Manitoba pour l‘exercice terminé le 31 mars 2012. L‘industrie agricole du Manitoba est un moteur essentiel de la productivité et de la prospérité de notre province. En 2011, la puissance de notre secteur de production primaire a permis de générer plus de deux milliards de dollars en exportations de produits agroalimentaires transformés intermédiaires et de consommation. Au Manitoba, un emploi sur dix dépend des retombées directes et indirectes de l‘agriculture. Grâce à la richesse des produits primaires cultivés dans la province, à notre capital naturel constitué de nos terres, de notre eau et de notre environnement sain, et à la demande mondiale croissante d'aliments de qualité, l‘avenir à long terme de notre industrie agricole est prometteur. Dans cette industrie qui dépend tellement des conditions météorologiques, les défis rencontrés par les producteurs du Manitoba ne sont pas rares. L‘année 2011 n‘a pas fait exception à la règle. Les inondations et une humidité excessive ont représenté des défis majeurs et ont exigé des efforts considérables de la part du personnel de notre ministère ainsi que la création d‘une large gamme de programmes, en plus d‘une aide d‘environ 600 millions de dollars fournie par nos programmes permanents fédéraux et provinciaux de gestion des risques de l‘entreprise. La hausse du taux de remboursement de la taxe scolaire applicable aux terres agricoles, qui est passé de 75 à 80, ainsi qu'un montant total de 31,6 millions de dollars ont également bénéficié au revenu agricole net. Notre industrie est solide et nous continuons à nous appuyer sur nos forces et à créer de nouvelles occasions, tout en ne perdant pas de vue les impacts potentiels de questions comme le changement climatique. Le Manitoba reste un chef de file de la diversification des cultures. La réouverture du marché sud-coréen rend les éleveurs de bétail optimistes. L‘agrandissement de l‘usine de transformation de la société Aliments Maple Leaf à Winnipeg, un projet de 85 millions de dollars, créera des emplois et contribuera grandement à l‘économie du Manitoba. Les changements apportés à la Commission canadienne du blé créent un nouvel environnement commercial pour les producteurs. Le ministère a commencé à informer les producteurs au sujet des différentes possibilités qui s‘offrent à eux et continue d‘encourager le gouvernement fédéral à soutenir la nouvelle Commission canadienne du blé ainsi que le port de Churchill. Les programmes agricoles favorisent le dynamisme de l‘économie et tentent d‘apporter des solutions aux questions concernant la santé et les maladies chroniques, les collectivités rurales, l'environnement et les bioproduits renouvelables. L‘investissement de 1,3 million de dollars effectué dans le cadre des programmes de salubrité des aliments de Cultivons l‘avenir a permis à l‘industrie d‘être au premier rang de la salubrité des aliments et d'offrir des programmes novateurs qui établissent de nouvelles normes. À cela s‘ajoutent nos travaux sur l‘élaboration du concept de régime alimentaire avantagé par le climat canadien (Canadian Climate Advantage Diet), l‘agrandissement du Centre de développement de produits alimentaires, et le partenariat avec le réseau de recherche en agrosanté du Manitoba, dont les installations de recherche et de développement de classe mondiale continuent à commercialiser des produits cultivés localement dont les bénéfices pour la santé ont été démontrés scientifiquement. Les collectivités rurales font partie de nos priorités, comme le montre l‘Initiative de développement économique rural qui a fourni une aide de 15 millions de dollars et a généré plus de 30 millions de dollars pour des projets de développement économique dans les régions rurales et du nord de la province. Le ministère a travaillé en collaboration avec les collectivités sur le soutien apporté aux immigrants, l'acquisition de compétences en leadership et en affaires, l‘agritourisme et l‘accroissement de la production agricole dans le nord. Les exploitations agricoles familiales sont le pilier de l‘industrie agroalimentaire du Manitoba et le ministère continue d‘aider les jeunes agriculteurs à planifier les relèves d‘entreprise. Au cours des deux dernières périodes de recensement, la population rurale du Manitoba a augmenté plus rapidement que la population urbaine. La population rurale représente maintenant 29 % de la population de la province, qui s‘élève à 1,25 million d‘habitants. Les producteurs et l'industrie continuent d‘étudier de nouvelles sources de revenu, tout en gardant à l‘esprit la nécessité d‘un développement écologiquement viable. Le gouvernement et le secteur ont travaillé ensemble à l‘élaboration de pratiques de gestion durable. L‘année dernière, le gouvernement a aussi accordé des mesures d‘encouragement fiscal ainsi qu‘une aide de sept millions de dollars aux producteurs, afin qu‘ils puissent installer des systèmes de traitement du fumier, renforcer leurs capacités de stockage et explorer de nouveaux systèmes de gestion des déchets en vue de protéger les ressources hydriques. Un programme de promotion de la biomasse a fourni une aide de 400 000 $ visant à favoriser la réduction de l‘utilisation du charbon au profit de la biomasse, un combustible fabriqué au Manitoba avec des résidus comme la paille et qui constitue un nouveau domaine d‘activité. Ces progrès sont le résultat de partenariats avec d‘autres ordres de gouvernement, l‘industrie et les producteurs. Nous nous tournons également vers l‘avenir et travaillons avec tous nos partenaires à la planification de Cultivons l'avenir 2, qui continuera de privilégier la rentabilité, la durabilité novatrice, la croissance et la capacité de s‘adapter aux risques et de les gérer. Le tout respectueusement soumis. Orignal Signed By Barry Todd Le sous-ministre, Barry Todd 2011/12 Highlights Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives‘ (MAFRI‘s) priorities for the 2011/12 fiscal year remained balanced between activities related to: farm production and profitability, product commercialization, rural development and economic growth, environmental sustainability, and health and wellness. The department‘s other major focus was aimed at programs to assist Manitobans affected by flooding, excess moisture and other weather-related challenges. With the Growing Forward (GF) Agreement in its fourth year, the department has been consulting with industry and using its Agriculture as a Solution framework to guide planning for the next federal/provincial agreement after 2012/13. The concept of Agriculture as a Solution is that the agriculture sector is a major economic generator in the Province of Manitoba, and a solution to: the health and chronic disease issues facing society; environmental changes; the growing need for green and renewable bioproducts; and the way to accelerate prosperity and capacity in rural communities. Farm Profitability Farm cash receipts totalled $4.9 billion, which is an increase of 0.8% from 2010. A 6.8% increase in livestock receipts mainly due to strong hog receipts was offset by a decrease (8.8%) in the crop sector as excess precipitation resulted in approximately three million acres of unseeded land as well as production loss for seeded crops. The federal/provincial business risk management programs under the Growing Forward Framework helped return producers to close to the previous five year total average income level, with 2011 payments of $599.3 million, consisting of AgriInvest ($42.2 million), AgriInsurance ($255.7 million net of producer premiums), AgriStability ($161.8 million), and AgriRecovery ($139.6 million). The above amount for AgriInsurance includes $162.3 million in Excess Moisture Insurance. The extreme weather and flooding significantly contributed to the above amounts. The federal/provincial AgriRecovery programs, which were negotiated in response to these weather events totalled $139.6 million, and were comprised of the following: o Manitoba Excess Moisture Assistance Program (MEMAP) - $30 per acre for unseeded and flooded land; o Manitoba Forage Restoration Assistance Program (MFRAP) - $50 per acre for reseeded forage and forage seed stands; o Manitoba Transportation Assistance Program (MTAP) - compensation for cost of moving feed to animals or animals to feed; o Manitoba Forage Shortfall Assistance Program (MFSAP) - $0.60 per cow/calf pair per day to purchase feed for summer and winter needs; o Manitoba Greenfeed Assistance Program (MGAP) - $15 per acre for crops that were planted and harvested as greenfeed, thereby increasing the supply of feed; and o Manitoba Infrastructure and Individual Assessment Program (MIIAP) - assistance for producers affected by excess moisture and flooding who were not eligible for Disaster Financial Assistance due to the limitations of that program. A 2011 AgriRecovery program triggering $219 thousand in payments was also negotiated for costs incurred to recover from a 2010 outbreak of avian influenza in turkeys. The Flood 2011 Building and Recovery Action Plan (BRAP) helped families, producers, businesses and communities cope with flooding and build for future flood mitigation.

  • Manitoba's Top Employers
    TOP EMPLOYERS COMPETITION ABOUT MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS BY GEOFF KIRBYSON Your dream employer might be Google or Facebook, but the researchers behind the Manitoba’s Top Employers project hope job-seekers will wake up to what really makes a company a great place to work. As part of the Toronto-based Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition, the research team aims to increase the literacy of the national workforce, particularly millennials who tend to get caught up in the hype surrounding high-profile companies. Likes, views and retweets are fine in the moment, but they’re worth nothing when it comes to your future, they say. “We still write about great employers with defined benefit pension plans,” says Tony Meehan, Publisher at Mediacorp Canada Inc., which manages the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. “People don’t realize that can be the difference between a happy retirement or no retirement at all. As you get older, vacation time makes a big difference (in where you want to work). We still see employers offering two weeks to start and three weeks after five years. We like to publish what the MANITOBA’S very best are doing,” he says. Mediacorp has been ranking Canadian employers of all kinds for 19 years and Meehan’s team of editors doesn’t get tired of scouring the country looking for employers with interesting TOP EMPLOYERS stories of doing things differently in their industry WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2018 or region. “Each year, employers bare their souls to us. We have 400 data points that each of them shares with us, including benefits like maternity leave, top vacation allowance, training and a host of other factors,” he says.
