Bill 29 Pamphlet

I've put together a pamphlet explaining Bill 29 (available here).  Nice to have on hand if you are collecting signatures for a petition.  Comments are welcome.

Petition to Repeal Bill 29

The NDP are circulating a petition calling for the repeal of Bill 29.  An electronic version can be downloaded here.  In order for the petition to be accepted, all signatures must be in the original ink and each page submitted must have a minimum of three signatures on it.   Signatures should me mailed to the address at the bottom of the page, or sent to one of the NDP MHAs.

Remember, petitioning gives you the opportunity to engage the members of your community on this important issue.  The more people know about Bill 29, the less likely they will tolerate this attack on our right to know what our government is doing.
