Every Cabinet minister gets his or her marching orders from the
Premier or Prime Minister. These "mandates" used to be
top secret, but Ontario now makes them public. Here is the mandate
letter for the new Minister of Environment and Climate Change, with
our emphasis added.
On environmental legislation, note the commitment to
reintroducing the Great Lakes Protection Act, that
new waste reduction legislation has been downgraded to an
"objective", and that there is no reference at all to the
Anti-SLAPP law that died on the order paper when the NDP forced the
May election, or to any climate change legislation:
September 25, 2014
The Honourable Glen Murray
Minister of the Environment and Climate Change
