Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) - *Manitoba, *Canada, Ottawa, ON

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) is seeking mediator consultants located in or serving Manitoba for the Farm Debt Mediation Service (FDMS). The work would be assigned on an “as and when requested” basis through task authorizations, rather than as a guaranteed volume of work.

The tender is currently shown as open and closes December 2, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The listing identifies Manitoba as the service location, although its metadata also references Ottawa, Ontario; this should be clarified in the official documents. This opportunity may be relevant to individuals or firms with professional mediation, financial counselling, dispute-resolution, agricultural, or related experience. The provided summary does not include the complete mandatory qualifications, experience requirements, rates, insurance or security conditions, evaluation method, or submission instructions, so these details must be reviewed carefully.
