The Parliamentarians-Murray Rankin, MP

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

January XVth, MMXV

Hon. Gordon Dirks, B. Ed., M. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow

Dear Gordon:

Murray Rankin, MP is clearly trying to improve the environment & the economy for working farmers & their families, as well as consumers in general by trying to get them to buy foods locally (thus establishing a sustained local market.)

"When we buy local foods, we reduce transportation distances & greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to the climate crisis we are facing in Canada today."

Number CCXXXVIII (238),

Rory
