Kody Blois isn’t wasting any time as Canada’s new federal minister of agriculture and rural development.
Since being sworn in as part of Prime Minister Carney’s cabinet on March 14, Blois has kept Canadians up to speed about his vision for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, while also meeting with ag stakeholders.
On March 18, he sent a letter to staff at AAFC outlining his approach to keeping Canada’s agriculture and food industry competitive.
His letter highlighted four ways the CFIA can help support this work.
