Why should I vote? “We are trying to survive, and politicians do not care about our concerns!” People living with poverty sometimes do not vote because we are too busy trying to survive. We also feel let down by politicians and feel apathy – we believe that there is no point in voting. However, politicians will care about our concerns if they know we vote, as they want to get into office. So, the more that people living in poverty vote, the more politicians will pay attention to our needs, and address issues like reducing poverty and increasing affordable housing. Politicians pay attention to voters’ concerns, so people living in poverty need to vote to get policies in place to reduce poverty! Voting can mean REAL change! .

    Public Registry of Designated Travellers In accordance with the Members By-law, a Member of the House of Commons may designate one person, other than the Member’s employee or another Member who is not the Member’s spouse, as their designated traveller. The Clerk of the House of Commons maintains the Public Registry of Designated Travellers. This list discloses each Member’s designated traveller.

The Registry may include former Members as it also contains the names of Members whose expenditures are reported in the Members’ Expenditures Report for the current fiscal year if they ceased to be a Member on or after April 1, 2015 (the start of the current fiscal year). Members are able to change their designated traveller once every 365 days, at the beginning of a new Parliament, or if the designated traveller dies. The Public Registry of Designated Travellers is updated on a quarterly basis.

    Milan Ilnyckyj XXX Argyle Avenue – Unit XXX Ottawa, Ontario Canada K2P 0N2 13 July 2011 Paul Dewar, Member of Parliament for Ottawa Centre House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1A 0A6 Re: Canada’s position regarding asbestos Mr. Dewar, Attached is a letter I sent to Minister of the Environment Peter Kent. As my Member of Parliament, I wanted you to know that I am strongly opposed to Canada’s continuing assistance and protection of the asbestos industry. Asbestos is a material whose time has long since passed, and which Canada should not be a ‘pusher’ of internationally. I hope that you will do what you can as a Member of Parliament to encourage Canada’s government to adopt a more ethical and appropriate course of action. Best wishes, Milan Ilnyckyj Milan Ilnyckyj 160 Argyle Avenue – Unit 412 Ottawa, Ontario Canada K2P 0N2 13 July 2011 Peter Kent, Minister of the Environment Les Terrasses de la Chaudière 10 Wellington Street, 28th Floor Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3 Re: Canada’s position regarding asbestos Minister Kent, Canada's continuing support for the asbestos industry, manifested in behaviours like blocking international regulation and sponsoring domestic lobby groups, is inappropriate and an embarrassment. People quite rightly interpret this behaviour as a cynical decision to protect a few votes in Quebec by continuing to sicken and kill people in other countries. The fact that some jobs depend on a behaviour continuing does not mean that the behaviour is a good thing, or even acceptable. The age of asbestos is now over; the documented health risks are such that the stuff should not be extracted or sold, least of all by countries where the risks from the substance are reflected domestically in strong prohibitions on use and controls over handling.

    Prepared by: Innovative Research Group, Inc. Toronto • Vancouver www.innovativeresearch.ca Canada This Month In-depth: NDP Leadership March 22, 2012 STRICTLY PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL Purpose • Over the past seven months, seven candidates have battled to replace Jack Layton as leader of the federal NDP, Canada’s official opposition. • Despite the NDP’s status as Official Opposition, few Canadians have paid much attention the race and most know little of the candidates and their platforms. • Rather than focus on the personalities of the race, INNOVATIVE has focused on some of the ideas. • We wanted to explore to what degree the ideas put forward by the leadership candidates have the ability to grow the NDP base. 3 Methodology • These are the findings of an Innovative Research Group (INNOVATIVE) poll conducted from March 20 – 21, 2012. • This online survey of 1,193 Canadian adults was conducted on INNOVATIVE’s Canada 20/20 national panel. • The Canada 20/20 Panel is recruited from a wide variety of sources to reflect the age, gender, region and language characteristics of the country as a whole. Each survey is administered to a series of randomly selected samples from the panel and weighted to ensure that the overall sample's composition reflects that of the actual Canadian population according to Census data to provide results that are intended to approximate a probability sample. • INNOVATIVE provides each panellist with a unique URL via an email invitation so that only invited panel members are able to complete the survey and panel members can only complete a particular survey once.
