Website will track commitments in mandate letters for Liberal ministers
OTTAWA — People looking to know how the Liberals have fared on fulfilling their promises — as well as how far they have to go — can now visit a website the federal government has set up to track the tasks Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assigned to his cabinet ministers.
“Canadians should have the best tools possible to hold us accountable,” Trudeau said in a statement Tuesday accompanying the release of the website.
“We want Canadians to know exactly what we’re doing and help drive progress on issues that matter most to them.”
Soon after his Liberals won their majority government in 2015, Trudeau decided, in an unprecedented move for a federal government, to publish the traditionally secret mandate letters written to cabinet ministers.
