Financial Consultant - Alberta for the Farm Debt Mediation Service (FDMS)

The Programs Branch (PB) of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) has requirements on an “as and when requested” basis for professional resources with expertise and skillsets for the delivery of financial counselling and mediation services. This requirement is to establish a Task Authorization Contract with a qualified Contractor’s for services in Alberta. It is intended to result in the award of 4 (four) contracts for 5 (five) years. The Farm Debt Mediation Service (FDMS) offers free financial counselling and mediation services to farmers who are having difficulties meeting their financial obligations. It is a voluntary, private and confidential service that brings farmers and their creditors together with a Mediator in a neutral forum to reach a mutually acceptable solution. The FDMS Administrator will assign a Financial Consultant and a Mediator to work with the farmer through the mediation process. Confidentiality is extremely important to the quality and effectiveness of the service. Information obtained from the farmer and their creditor(s) is used for the sole purpose of mediation and is shared only among the parties involved in the mediation process. The Financial Consultant will conduct a site visit, inventory all the farmer’s assets, create financial statements of the farming operation, develop a recovery plan for the purpose of reaching a financial arrangement between the farmer and their creditor(s), and attend mediation meeting(s). When the farmer and their creditor(s) agree upon a solution, the Mediator will draw-up an arrangement
