President's Letters

President’s Tour postponed to September
July 14, 2010
This week I had the
opportunity to attend a negotiations meeting with officials from
Treasury Board and the Department of Health. There are still a
number of significant issues that remain to be resolved. I have
requested meetings with Hon. Tom Marshall, Minister of Finance and
President of Treasury Board, and Health Minister Hon. Jerome Kennedy
and hope to have those meetings scheduled in the coming weeks. With
regards my President’s Tour, it quickly became evident that many of
you would not be available to attend due to vacations and other
commitments. Therefore, I have decided to postpone the Tour until
September, when more of you will be available to participate.
