Legislation is social justice in action.
It is the carrying out of League resolutions to influence government policy.

MONITOR and STUDY LEGISLATION at ALL LEVELS of GOVERNMENT

Legislation affects everyone and everything we have and do.

It is important to:

• know the local, provincial and federal government representatives
• ask to be put on their mailing list to receive information
• attend public forums sponsored by government and report back to the council
• keep informed on issues pertaining to government
• keep informed about resolutions and briefs presented to government
• be aware that the council president is the official spokesperson
• ensure all letters to government are signed by the president
• obtain copies of bills relevant to a resolution being followed
• work closely with the chairperson of resolutions to review previous resolutions and draft new ones
• access Hansard, a printed record of the proceedings of government, which may be viewed on the parliamentary Web site or obtained from the library
• refer to the Personal Letter Writing Guide available from national office
