[fvc-wat-disc] The Government Wants To Know!

[Laurel L. Russwurm]

It certainly looks as though the ERRE Committee will NOT be stopping in 
Waterloo Region:

    It was agreed, — That, in relation to the study of viable alternate
    voting systems, mandatory voting and online voting, the following
    travel budgets be adopted:

    • Regina (SK), St-Pierre Jolys (MB), Winnipeg (MB), Toronto (ON),
    Québec (QC), and Joliette (QC): $ 137,111.80

    • Whitehorse (YT), Victoria (BC), Vancouver (BC), LeDuc (AB),
    Yellowknife(NT): $ 162,667.05

    • Montréal (QC), St. John’s (NL), Halifax (NS), Charlottetown (PE),
    Fredericton (NB) $ 130,711.80

    • Iqaluit ((NU) $ 109 517.50.

    It was agreed, — That, should the Board of Internal Economy adopt
    these budgets, the Analysts and the Clerks, in consultation with the
    Chair, prepare a news release for publication on the Committee’s
    website, announcing the cities that will be visited.

    It was agreed, — That, the Committee hire two (2) research
    assistants for the period of June 21 to December 1, 2016, for a
    total amount not to exceed $ 58,300.00.

    It was agreed, — That, a proposed budget in the amount of $
    80,250.00 for the study of electoral reform be adopted.

If they were stopping once in each province & territory it would be 
different, but the 17 stops include

3 in Quebec
2 in Manitoba

but only ONE in Ontario.

What now?

Regards,
Laurel
