Episode 25

A Minister's Mandate (Or: Lana's Letter)

Today on the show, BC’s recently re-elected premier David Eby finally issued mandate letters for his new cabinet, so I asked a politically-minded farmer to join me to talk about what’s contained in the one for our brand new but also returning Minister of Agriculture and Food, Lana Popham. 

We reference the BC Ag Council's Strategic Priorities released during the last BC election. Here's that document.
