Proposed outreach

Introduction

Fulfilling your duties as Minister of the Environment will require close collaboration with a number of partners and stakeholders. Over the first few weeks of your mandate, it is recommended that you contact your provincial counterparts as well as the leaders of national Indigenous organizations. In addition, you may wish to reach out to some key stakeholders such as environmental and industry organizations, as well as international counterparts.

You will find attached a number of lists. The first is a list of your provincial counterparts. In a number of provinces, you have two counterparts, with responsibilities split across environmental matters, parks and wildlife. The second list presents the leaders of the National Indigenous Organizations. In addition, attached are lists of some of your key international interlocutors, non-governmental organizations, and private sector representatives.

It is important to note that these lists contain a sample of some (not all) of the many stakeholders and partners with whom you will interact. These lists are intended to give you an early indication of breadth of the players that you will engage with, but they are not inclusive of all the important stakeholders you will meet, even in the early days.

The department will provide you with details on each partner and stakeholder as needed to support any outreach you might decide to do.
