-Staying Connected-
New E-Newsletter Launched	June 2007
Dear Constituent, I am pleased to launch my first electronic newsletter! Staying Connected will provide you with helpful links, information on what our government is doing, and what I am doing to represent you and your family. This spring was quite busy for our government. Perhaps most importantly, we delivered our second balanced budget for Canadian taxpayers. This first edition of Staying Connected provides some details on what the 2007 Budget means for you. I've included below a number of links - but please don't hesitate to contact me if you ever need more details. Wishing you and your family all the very best as we head into summer, - Rick	Helpful Links Write to The Troops Universal Childcare Benefit Starting a Business? ecoACTION: Conserving Energy Reforming Canada's Democracy Visiting Parliament
