5-Year Stewardship Plan Approved
Minister of Sustainable Development Rochelle Squires gave her official approval to TSM‘s five-year plan on the 28th July.
“The department intends to establish guidelines for third-party assurance of non-financial information to be reported by all approved stewardship program operators in the Province of Manitoba,” Ms. Squires wrote in her letter to TSM Executive Director Brett Eckstein.
Ministry officials will work with TSM to establish guidelines to provide the Manitoba government with reasonable assurance that key performance measures of the stewardship program are reported accurately, Squires wrote.
The ministry’s approval of the five-year plan is retroactive to July 1 and expires June 30, 2023. Ms. Squires told Mr. Eckstein to submit an application for approval of the next five-year plan by Jan. 31, 2023 to allow adequate time for review.
