By: Mr. Robert Chisholm (Halifax Atlantic)

I hereby give notice that on a future day I shall move the adoption of the following resolution:

Whereas Sydney Mines council member and Canadian Auto Workers activist Archie MacKinnon is helping unemployed Cape Bretoners form an unemployed workers' association to help press for a jobs strategy and to help each other maintain and create sustainable jobs; and

Whereas the favourable response to this initiative reflects the extent to which the talents, skills and views of the unemployed are rarely considered by government decision-makers; and

Whereas Cape Bretoners need every effective means of helping themselves and making their concerns heard;

Therefore be it resolved that this House extends best wishes to the Cape Bretoners who are joining together to form an unemployed workers' association and affirms that the voices of the unemployed are crucial in tackling the jobs crisis in Cape Breton.
