Issues and Action Committee

You would expect a committee with a name like ‘Issues and Action’ should have many issues to consider and many actions to undertake! That is exactly what we do. This committee assists the executive in learning about and advocating for CFUW policies and concerns to local councils, MPs and MPPs. These policies have been determined through a grass-roots process of study and debate by all CFUW Clubs in Canada.

This year we will focus on our Club’s own resolution proposal about adequate income for Canadian families that we are preparing for the 2013 CFUW AGM. There will be other issues as well. Check out the CFUW website to see what CFUW is doing. (One important request is that Club members support Bill C-305 re Public Transit policy (read more). And of course, we'll prepare for our visits to MPs and MPPs, bringing our highest priorities to the attention of our parliamentarians.
