Trudeau government’s mandate tracker lets you see if federal ministers are keeping commitments
OTTAWA—The “deliverology” mantra of the Trudeau government has delivered a new toy.
The Liberal government has set up a new website to publicly report on the progress — or lack thereof – that federal departments are making on the marching orders Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered to each minister when his government came to power two years ago.
The “mandate letter tracker,” found online at www.canada.ca/results, is intended to track only specific assignments given in ministerial mandate letters, not Liberal party electoral platform promises, a senior government official said.
The official said it is not a political effort by the government to pat itself on the back, however there is “of course” political input into the status reports.
Unveiled Tuesday, the tracker showed for the first time the Liberal government has dropped two commitments — to give a 12-month break on Employment Insurance premiums for firms that hire younger workers into permanent positions, and to remove all GST on new capital investments in affordable rental housing.
