Rona Ambrose - will not dare offend Quebec

Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Rona Ambrose needs more staff to help her read correspondence.

Here is a copy of a letter I sent to Ambrose July 20 - 07

Dear Minister,

I am writing to you as a citizen of Canada and of Newfoundland and Labrador. It has come to my attention now on many occasions that official maps of the Government of Quebec represent a false border between Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec. These maps are being widely distributed by the Tourism Quebec - Natural Resources Quebec - Transport Quebec - Elections Quebec - and even by Hydro-Quebec a Crown Corporation.

Could you please investigate why this is occurring as the borders between the two provinces were established in 1927 by the Privy Council and accepted by Canada - and further acknowledged at the time of Newfoundland and Labrador's entry into Canada in 1949.

If one lives in Quebec or in Newfoundland and Labrador they should be able to view maps of provinces and of the country that represent proper borders. Further I have noticed documents filed by Hydro-Quebec with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans that ignore the correct boundaries of the provinces.
What can the Federal Government do to correct this situation?
I look forward to your earliest reply.

After 2 months the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs answers with this:

Dear Ms. Kelland-Dyer:

Thank you for your e-mail of July 23, 2007, regarding the border between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador.

As you point out, the border between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador was determined in 1927 by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and confirmed in 1949 when the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the British North American Act, 1949, which made Newfoundland, as it was then known, a Canadian province and confirmed that Newfoundlands border was the one delimited by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (the British North America Act, was renamed the Newfoundland Act in 1982). All maps issued and used by the Government of Canada show the border based on the 1927 determination by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and confirmed in the Newfoundland Act.

Thank you for sharing your views on this matter. I trust that you will find this information useful.

Well that's useful the Minister of INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS managed to tell me what I told her - but will not - as the Minister responsible - delve into the falsified maps of Quebec. Further she will not even deal with that jurisdiction when they submit these same incorrect maps to a federal government department. Can't touch Quebec - good thing the border problem did not exist between let's say Alberta and Saskatchewan. We are only Newfoundland and Labrador - only 7 seats - right Minister Ambrose - right Prime Minister Harper?

And any Canadian is supposed to believe that this government will protect our borders north - the Northwest Passage? That means Harper has to take on the USA - sure - they can't even control the nonsense out of one province.
