The PM heads to Saskatchewan to "celebrate the official opening of the
Wheat Market" by holding a photo op at Kindersley-based Rosana Farms,
with Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz also slated to be in attendance.
Elsewhere on the circuit, Revenue Minister Gail Shea convenes a roundtable in Miramichi to discuss "the Harper government's" red tape reduction efforts.
Back in Ontario, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson treks to Cornwall with new funding for a local child advocacy centre. Elsewhere in the province, multiculturalism parliamentary secretary Chungsen Leung takes his just-launched immigration levels and mix consultation tour to Windsor.
Meanwhile, in Manitoba, Vic Toews -- who, intriguingly, is described in the advisory as "regional minister for Manitoba and Member of Parliament for Provencher," with no mention made of his public safety portfolio -- will unveil the details of an extension to a joint program to help older workers on behalf of his cabinet colleague, Human Resources Minister Diane Finley, who is in Calgary today for an announcement on recognition of foreign credentials.
Treasury Board President Tony Clement hits the west coast, where he will drop by Lee's Music in Kamloops to "show support for small businesses and innovators," and for the life of me, I have no idea if that is advisory-speak for "pick up a new guitar." Stay tuned!
Finally, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is in Halifax, where she will team up with members of the Save Our Seas and Shores Coalition join forces with Dalhousie University scientists to demand a moratorium on the "almost unlimited oil exploration and drilling in the fragile Gulf of St. Lawrence."
