INDUSTRY UNIMPRESSED WITH MINISTERS’ MANDATES

Executives around the sector expressed concern about the new government’s mandate letters to cabinet ministers, which prime minister Justin Trudeau sent out this week following his Liberal party’s re-election victory in October.

Organigram VP Public Affairs & Stakeholder Relations Cameron Bishop lamented the mandates’ lack of mention of MED exports, tax reform, or facilitating craft entry into the sector.

  • Bishop said the “mandate letters […] wrongly assume they got everything right the first time out, have nothing to learn from real world experience.”
  • Bishop’s whole thread is worth a read.
