Legislation Communique #3

Submitted by: Sheila Quinn

Dear League Sisters and Father Tien,

The recent national election saw a minority Conservative government elected and at the point of writing, parliament is back in session.   Did you know all bills before the House of Commons die on the order paper when an election is called?   So now it is time for League members, especially legislation chairpersons, to monitor closely the new government to see what bills are being brought back also any changes that have been made. to the original bills presented.  To keep you up to date and informed contact both Federal and Provincial Members of Parliament asking to be put on their mailing list. A list of the names of cabinet ministers can be found at www.cwl.ca  (national web site) under the recent national legislation chairperson’s communique and the mailing address is House of Commons, Parliament Buildings, Ottawa ON K1A OA6, no postage required.  

Encourage members to become familiar with all League resolutions which can be found on the national web site, stressing the importance of following the action plans especially in writing letters in support of our resolutions.      

As we begin our Advent journey walking humbly with our God awaiting the birth of the child Jesus let us give thanks for the many blessings we have received and lovingly and generously share them with others.   Peace and joy to you and your families.
