The following petition is available to sign at Joyce Murray’s Vancouver office, 2111 W. 38th ave.:
“That Mikhail Lennikov, after contributing to Canada’s economy and community life for eleven years, is subject to a deportation order which endangers his life and security by forcing him back to Russia following his disengagement from the KGB, which is not based on evidence of wrong doing or risk to the well-being or security of Canadians, and which will cause the break-up of the Lennikov family.
Therefore, your petitionaers call upon the Minister of Citizenship & Immigration to override the deportation order and allow Mikhail Lennikov to remain in Canada.”

Ms. Joyce Murray (Vancouver Quadra, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, the environment minister appears content to be a lap dog of the Americans on climate change.
The National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy released a report called, “Achieving 2050: A Carbon Pricing Policy for Canada”. It calls on the Conservatives to move quickly on a nationwide policy to meet the government’s own climate change strategy.
Will the Conservative government accept the recommendations of its own advisers? Will it finally take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or is the Conservative plan and targets simply a plan to bamboozle the public and nothing more than hot air?
