More than 100 organizations endorse the open letter re: Henry the VIII Powers in C-15

The Manitoba Eco-Network was among the more than 100 organizations that endorsed an open letter urging Members of Parliament to remove the proposed undemocratic exemption powers in budget Bill C-15 (Part 5, Division 5).  This letter sends a powerful message to the federal government to reconsider the proposed amendments to the Red Tape Reduction Act and hopefully withdraw them from the budget bill as the Standing Committee on Finance conducts clause-by-clause review.

The open letter is available here and at the links below.
