President's Letters

President’s Tour postponed to September
July 14, 2010 T
his 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.
