Why do they have corporate sponsors?
By the way one of the largest ones is INCO.
Our premiers can't get together without corporate backing? hmmmmmm
The following is from the website !
The Council of the Federation was created by Premiers because they believe it is important for provinces and territories to play a leadership role in revitalizing the Canadian federation and building a more constructive and cooperative federal system.
The Council of the Federation’s objectives are to:
- Promote interprovincial-territorial cooperation and closer ties between members of the Council, to ultimately strengthen Canada;
- Foster meaningful relations between governments based on respect for the Constitution and recognition of the diversity within the federation;
- Show leadership on issues important to all Canadians
So our Premiers are being sponsored by:
INCO
Aliant
ING
Trans Canada
AMGEN
Rogers
Molson
Labatt
Fortis
PAL
These are our heads of government paid by us to do their work. Do you think the SPONSORS might be lobbying just a bit.
Knock it off boys, just represent your provinces!
And Danny has a problem with the mining giant? You'd never know it.
