    Photo: John Packman 139-10 I November 9- November 16 FREE llH.:I 9t Jaqwai\ON- 6 JaqwaAON I Ot-6H WEEKLY DISPATCH This week has been the most important week of the year for the student movement. From November 4 t~ to lOtb , Mike Tipping, VP Education and I are in Ottawa at our federal lobby group, the Canadian Alliance of Student Association's (CASA) annual Lobby Conference. For the week, the eighteen member schools of CASA as well as eight provincial partners and five observer schools are meeting with over 140 members of Parliament, the Senate, and senior bureaucrats. This is the third consecutive year that this conference has taken place and in the past two days we have seen the benefits of this consistent pressure for changes to the post secondary education system in Canada . For the first time, members of the Bloc have expressed support for a Pan-Canadian Accord and dedicated transfer. This is a huge step for a party dedicated to ensuring special deals for Quebec on any Pan­ Canadian issue. We have also seen the New Democratic Party agree that the money that the Canadian Millennium Scholarship Foundation provides to students must stay in the system, and that the Foundation is probably the most efficient way to deliver that money directly to students. This again is an example of what CASA has been able to do to shift the policies of a party. The NDP has consistently denounced the foundation since its inception . Tuesday saw the culmination of CASA's media stunt . The picture below shows a map of Canada made up of the paper feet that students across the country have been signing since September.
