Public education rally tomorrow View this email in your browser Hi - Last Monday, the provincial government committed a shameful act that clearly put the interests of our students last. Hours before Vancouver School Board Trustees were set to pass a balanced budget – Education Minister Mike Bernier fired them for failing to pass a balanced budget last June. Now more than ever, it is important for all of us to come together to let the provincial government know that what they did is unacceptable.  That the chronic underfunding of public education is unacceptable.  And that closing any of our schools is unacceptable.  Opposition Leader John Horgan, my colleagues and myself believe that stable and adequate funding for public education is needed. Please join me at a rally tomorrow to support our fired VSB trustees who are advocating for public education.  Rally to support our trustees Thur Oct 20th 5:30pm VSB front lawn 1580 W. Broadway (at Fir) Vancouver Mable Elmore, MLA Vancouver-Kensington mableelmore.ca

Fw: Consultations on National Security and Public Safety

Hello,

 

Thank you for writing in to my office to express your concern about Bill C-51.

 

I am writing today to inform you that the Standing Committee on National Security and Public Safety will be studying Canada's National Security Framework, and is traveling as part of this study to gather feedback from Canadians across the country.

 

Next week committee members will be consulting Canadians on what changes they would like to see made within this Framework, including changes to the legislation brought in by Bill C-51.

 

The consultations are open to the public, and I encourage you to attend if you have the opportunity.

 

The consultation in Vancouver is:

 

Monday, October 17

Coast Coal Harbour Hotel

1180 West Hastings Street

Room: Coal Harbour Room A

 

Witness Panels will take place from 2pm – 4pm, and the open mic feedback portion is from 5:30pm – 7:30pm.
