Jul 6, 2016 — Hello everyone,

Thanks for all of your support over the past few weeks. We unfortunately don’t yet have a resolution. The courts will be coming down with a decision on the 86/90 settlement surplus in the next months. Who knows whether the judges will even consider the pre/post group in their deliberations.

In the meantime, we need to keep up the pressure. We now have 389 signatures on our petition. Every few signatures that we get, e-Mails are sent to Prime Minister Trudeau, the Attorney General and the Health Minister. Maybe we can get to 500 signatures? Take a minute to send this petition to your contacts.

Sincerely, Fred

P.S. Here’s a piece that the CBC published. Media are noticing. Hopefully our elected representatives will too.
