@RjSigurdson Say hi to Boss if you see him. Have a great trip

It’s my pleasure to be in Saskatchewan this week for the Tri-National Agricultural Accord to meet with my counterparts from across Canada, Mexico and the United States. Yesterday it was great to tour the Wanuskewin Heritage Park as well as the Kernen Crop Development Centre. I’m looking forward to the upcoming meetings in the remainder of the week, as we discuss important topics surrounding the agriculture industry across the continent and what the future holds.

Today we began the formal meetings of Federal, Provincial and Territorial Agriculture Ministers from across the country in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I am honoured to represent Alberta and begin many discussions towards the future of agriculture and agri-food in Canada.

We are pleased to host the Annual Conference of Federal, Provincial and Territorial Agriculture Ministers here in New Brunswick. I joined Ministers Margaret Johnson and Réjean Savoie last night at the welcome reception. It was a pleasure to meet participants and learn more about how they are helping to innovate this important industry. ----------------------------------- Nous sommes heureux d’accueillir la conférence annuelle des ministres fédéral, provinciaux et territoriaux de l'agriculture ici au N.-B. J’ai accompagné les ministres Margaret Johnson et Réjean Savoie hier soir lors de la réception d’accueil. Ce fut un plaisir de rencontrer les participants et d’en apprendre davantage sur les façons dont ils aident à innover cette importante industrie. @MargJohnsonPCNB

@monctonSJlawyer So many thought provoking questions.

Oh God it’s starting. Now what do I do?

@NBNANA1 @silasjvbrown I believe that the policy as it stands will protect, children and teachers and hopefully engage parents. Because it is a policy it can still be amended as necessary.

@silasjvbrown Disappointed @MargJohnsonPCNB that you are not 1 of the Eight. Believed you had moral courage.

Quite a few PC ministers and MLAs are not in their seats about half way through QP. Here’s my list of who’s missing.

Summer Youth Baseball and Soccer Coaches wanted! If you're ready to inspire young athletes, create lifelong memories, and be part of a fantastic community sports program, we want to hear from you!⚽️⚾️ Call us at the RVCC, 506-273-4959

@svhs1985 Holly should have read hauling. 🙄

@svhs1985 Thanks Chris. We tried something like this 25 years ago edit didn’t quite work. I think we created a program that will truly help farmers. They are stewards of the land and this will Help defray the cost of Holly the lime to their field

Great program for farmers and soil health. Thank you @MargJohnsonPCNB #NBAG www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en…

@AESFunWing One of my favourite artists.

Studying about Georgia O’Keeffe this morning and the self propelled learning was AMAZING! This one piece had students thinking it’s a woman laying down to an ultrasound, a fish, a sneaker and finally someone in a wind storm. #AbstractArt

@mrsdebertin @NBCOE @amytomp @CentrevilleSch Mrs Debertin, you continue to enlighten and empower our littles. Thanks for all you do.

A thread catching up on all our activities for 🌎Day and trying to complete the Earth Day Bingo for @NBCOE @amytomp @CentrevilleSch We participated in the live Earth Day event and cleaned up our Outdoor Classroom on Friday. We recycled the snack wrappers instead of garbage 1/4

We are prioritizing the training and recruitment of doctors to strengthen our health-care system. We now have 28 medical seats available to train doctors at l’Université de Moncton.

This is a great opportunity for ASD-W high school students who want to work in trades and get paid this summer.
