Canada’s union movement is under attack by the extreme right-wing policies of Stephen Harper's Conservative Government. Through the legislative backdoor, the Conservatives have submitted Private Members Bill C-377. The purpose of this Bill is to require unions to make their finances public, including assets, liabilities, and expenses. Unions already provide this information to their members through financial audits, reports, and regular membership meetings. The Conservatives want their corporate friends to have access to this information so that they can undermine unions.

I thank you for placing your faith in me and our executive officers – Secretary-Treasurer Tony Soares, Executive Vice-President Kevin Benn and Recorder Dan Gilbert.
