Minister of International Trade Mandate Letter - See more at: http://pm.gc.ca/eng/minister-internati

Dear Ms. Freeland:

I am honoured that you have agreed to serve Canadians as Minister of International Trade. You will be part of a strong team of ministers led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

We have promised Canadians a government that will bring real change – in both what we do and how we do it. Canadians sent a clear message in this election, and our platform offered a new, ambitious plan for a strong and growing middle class. Canadians expect us to fulfill our commitments, and it is my expectation that you will do your part in delivering on those promises to Canadians.

We made a commitment to invest in growing our economy, strengthening the middle class, and helping those working hard to join it. We committed to provide more direct help to those who need it by giving less to those who do not. We committed to public investment as the best way to spur economic growth, job creation, and broad-based prosperity. We committed to a responsible, transparent fiscal plan for challenging economic times.

Is, that we do not exist for the corporations.

There is nothing that I have seen yet that defines her and the parties approach to the TPP other than a sort of, trade is good tune.

And the link has all the letters for the ministers. One may wish to have that in the future.

which, from what I can tell, the letter merely reflects that position, something to be expected, imo.
