▪ The meeting began with the PSAC Representative providing a brief explanation of the responsibilities of this committee and where they fit within the PSAC.
▪ Marianne Hladun provided further context, giving examples of political action (such as lobbying MPs, rallys and encouraging participation from members). She spoke about budgeting for future events, informing the committee should they plan on specific action, to let her know and she will in turn make sure that funds are available for the committee. She went on to talk about the upcoming reports that are due March 15th.
As the committee has not been functioning for the last 2 years, and the previous committee has “closed off” with a final report, they will not be required to adhere to the strict rules regarding submitting reports.
