President's Fall Welcome Message

Ed Zegray our rep at the provincial level recommends that we protest Bill 23 by sending a letter
Attached you will find a form letter to voice opposition to Bill 23. It was originally formulated by AQRP, one of the members of GTAR.
The problem with Bill 23 is the clause that requires a 20% surplus before the 1982-99 indexation situation be improved, and the Bill only applies to the RREGOP plan.
On October 4-5, 2011 Parliamentary Hearings will be held on Bill 23. So far I am aware of 2 GTAR members that have been invited and will present briefs, AREQ and AQRP.
The letter ( Le ____________ requires a date, eg 3 octobre 2011, then print name and address, sign the letter), place a stamp on an envelope and mail to Mme Courchesne. To be effective, this should be done by October 14.

QPARSE is looking at making greater use of e-mail in its correspondence with members. This would help us to reduce the mailing and printing costs that eat up a large part of our budget. If you have an e-mail address that you do not think the association is aware of, please send an e-mail message to Ellen Holzman through our feedback form.
