President’s Follow Up Items - Executive Council
December 2012

CLC COMMITTEE ON BILL C-377

  • The Parliamentary Finance Committee hearings on Bill C-377 took place October 25th, November 8th and November 19th, 2012. The committee report to the House of Commons was due November 22nd.  (This report was written prior to November 22nd so I am unable to report on the outcome of the Committee hearings).  The CLC conducted a lobbying blitz to selected MPs and Senators on October 30th.  The PSAC sent several activists to lobby during this blitz, including some of our own UTE activists.

  • Brother Hugh McGoldrick finished his term on November 16th 2012, and we thank him for all of his service.

Respectfully submitted,
