This is a great idea Michael and I really appreciate you being alert to (and sharing) this opportunity. Do you have a sense of which of the two approaches that you propose would carry more weight?

Cheers,

Rajiv

Brock University is located on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. The territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Agreement. Today these lands are the home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and acknowledging them reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.

Subject: [Canadaoer] Federal Pre-Budget Consultation (2025) - Briefs Due Aug 2

Hi Everyone,

 

The House of Commons Finance Committee (FINA) has announced its regular pre-budget consultation (for 2025). Link: https://www.ourcommons.ca/committees/en/FINA/StudyActivity?studyActivityId=12835898

 

In that regard, perhaps there could be some sort of coordinated approach - either we could aim to have groups and individuals agree on a common ask (perhaps based on the advocacy work to date/the National Framework), or alternatively we could develop a document that would allow anyone to sign on and then try to get as many signatories as possible.

 

I recognize coordinating over July is a bit of a mess (especially with the brief due right before a long weekend).

 

Michael
