How long until they select a new Ontario Agriculture Minister? Is there any good elected Liberal possibilities for the position?

I was visiting the OMAFRA website yesterday and noticed Carol Mitchell was still on it as the Minister.

I started to think about who might replace her and when. I am not familiar with the other elected members of the Liberal party. Are there any farmers from other ridings? I know alot of rural ridings went PC so we should have some knowledgeable agri critics like Ernie Hardemann.

Any thoughts on this issue?

Sorry. Should have read the next posting in the forum. FARMS does say that Mr. McMeekin is our new Minister.
