Mr Efford, I'm still waiting...
In response to NL Outside the Box [confederation] Blog hosted by NL Ex-PatriateTopic: "Voice your concerns to your federal representative, employee!"
I have sent e-mails citing concerns to my MP John Efford and even received some (canned) replies from his parliamentary assistant B. James. Unfortunately, when I identified to them that the content of the responses did not satisfy my submissions, all contact was cut-off. I submitted other e-mails trying to re-instigate dialogue but to no avail.
They will not respond to anything so I had to create a blog. I have yet to touch on all the points which I submitted to Minister Effords’ offices in Bay Roberts and Ottawa but one of the issues, which I hope they address in the House this year on the very first session, is an issue which belongs to the Speaker of the House.
That is: Per the document that they sent me regarding the outbursts of members who do not have the floor should receive warnings and then be evicted if they do not relinquish the floor or act with courtesy in the house. It is reprehensible conduct and our tax dollars are wasted by the illegal "philibuster" tactics. If they wish to argue against or for in their turn, then is their time to argue or pass comment. This continued illegal yelling, noisemaking and childishness have no place in our House of Commons!
Grow-up and earn your keep as adults within the law of our country’s procedures.

As I said on NL-Outside the Box...
Paul Martin has precisely the policy template needed to address some serious concerns in the way federal fisheries is managed. And oddly enough, it was a fellow Liberal who brought it to his attention - Roger Grimes!
Martin should immediately take a leadership role in international dealings with other fishing countries in order to assure cooperative management of common stocks and end fishing abuses, including foreign overfishing.
He should immediately take custodial management of the stocks on the Nose and Tail of the Grand Banks and the Flemish Cap.
He should adopt, with any interested coastal province or territory, a system of increased provincial management over fisheries through a system of joint management and joint fisheries councils modelled on the system proposed by unanimous resolution of the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly in May 2003 and as detailed in the government of Newfoundland and Labrador's (Grimes') white paper on the subject as released in 2003.
Martin should be working to eliminate unfair international trade bans on Canadian seal products.
Instead we have a Prime Minister that would rather do nothing and seriously harm this region as a result.
Did you hear Mr Hickey from the NLFirst party tonight on VOCM.
He made a very good arguement about Mr Efford holding NL hostage to appease Martin because he knows he will lose any seat in NL right now.
He has a chance to right a wrong done to the NL people with his Atlantic Accord debolical by resigning due to health issues, be damned with Martin and Federal Partizanship.
Vote independant get your NL rights represented!

I get more responses from the opposition than I ever do the parties in power!
If you want to get your voice heard IMHO it is best to make your arguements and points to the opposition.
And of course as i always say include the media to ensure accountability.
Fred how about the Provincial legislature have a bring your kids, or neices nephews to Work as a way to tone down the rhetoric amongst the warring factions in our house?
At least one day would be without the squabbling and party line differences.
