4— President’s Report
Mr. Hugo Landry, Sub-Group Interim President, presents a summary of the Sub-Group’s activities. He explains that following the President’s resignation, being Vice-President, he had to take on the responsibilities at a moment’s notice. We organised many luncheon meetings to discuss difficult negotiations with the government then in power. We worked hard toward member visibility on social media. The government was defeated and the current government is more attentive. We participated in the National Annual General Meeting, meeting with Sub-Group Presidents, and in the CS AGM, which allowed us to compare our views with the rest of Canada. Hugo ends by saying that Renaud will present the Treasurer’s Report and asks if there are any questions.
