As 2010 draws to a close so does the Industry Committee’s examination of Bill C-501. It’s been quite the year for this bill and my staff and I are now shifting gears and developing a game plan to push it forward in 2011. As such, I want to use this week’s column to update you as to where the bill is in the legislative process, some of the challenges it is facing as it moves forward, and what work lies ahead for my staff and I in the New Year.

Some days, when you least expect it, a voice out of the past either calls or emails me. It happened last week when Wendi Stewart emailed me with a request for me to review her columns. Wendi now lives in Chesley, just outside of Owen Sound.
Her parents John and Shirley Stewart and my parents were friends, and I can remember spending a couple of days of Christmas holidays at the Stewart farm on the River Road at sleepovers.
We probably didn’t spend a lot of time with either Wendi or her sister Sherry.

Twice the fun!
That is probably the best way to answer the question I get asked every once in a while.
