Supplemental mandate letters, January 15, 2021

Supplemental mandate letters re-iterated existing commitments, with a COVID-19 lens applied.  The only minor adjustment of (limited) note is a focus on local food supply chains on the Prairies. Although there is reference to climate change in the letter to the Minister of Agriculture and Agrifood, it does not specify any agricultural strategies for contributing to climate change mitigation and adapation. See Supplemental Mandate letters.  There was no indication in the letter to the Minister of Agriculture and Agrifood of progress on implementing a national food policy.
