Meeting with David Tilson - MP

Over a week ago - on Friday March 28, we met with our local MP - David Tilson - to present our development and Peace Campaign Cards that were signed at Masses in February - 199 in total.
A Voice for Justice calls on the Government of Canada to establish an independent ombudsman for the Canadian extractive sector that can investigate complaints brought by communities overseas where companies operate. 



We suggested that this office could be based upon the example of the work of the office for Religious Freedom, which is able to speak out to the international community in cases where there are limits placed upon the Religious practise and freedom of minorities in foreign lands.
He will deliver the cards we signed to Prime Minister Harper, and raise this issue with his fellow MP's in the GTA Caucus.
Peace
