Please join me for my next regular “Community Council on Federal Issues”. It is an opportunity for me to learn your views on current federal issues and to let you know about the initiatives that I am undertaking on your behalf.

Our next meeting will review the ongoing challenge of creating a sustainable, environmentally friendly energy plan for Canadians. We will discuss how green energy will affect climate change and explore ways to generate economic prosperity through environmental sustainability.

I invite you to help shape Canada from Parkdale-High Park by joining my non-partisan “Community Council on Federal Issues”. The council is made up of interested community members and leaders of local organizations. Members are invited to attend regular public town hall meetings, receive MP reports as well as review information and provide advice on issues that they care about.

Some of my current projects, arising out of area residents’ concerns, are listed on the back and you are invited to become involved in any one of them. I am looking forward to seeing you on the 8th.

Should someone be imprisoned for sharing the views of most Canadians on the Iraq War? That is the question being posed in part by my Bill C-440, soon to be considered at second reading in the House of Commons.

Parliament has voted twice to let Iraq war resisters from the United States stay in Canada. Now the Federal Court of Appeal has added its voice to the debate.

According to a schedule fixed by Ottawa, federal stimulus funding for municipal infrastructure works is to disappear in less than eight months

The federal Liberal infrastructure critic says a new report on the stimulus program proves the Conservative government, not Canadian municipalities, is to blame for a delay that will leave many projects unfinished by March 31.
