Some of you will be pleased to learn,
end no doubt some of you will be
unhappy to learn, that | WILL be aiming
for a second term as your MP once an
election is cailed. The recent mediz
speculation about the status of my
colleague, Randy White, appears to
have been causing some confusion
here In North Vancouver, so | decided to
put an end to the speculation by
making clear my intentions.

It is now almost three years since the
last election, and, as mentioned in my
report last week, | have been receiving a
number of calls and letters lately
suggesting that Reform has backed away
from many of the principles which helped
to elect 52 Reform MPs. At least part of
this perception may be due to a failure by
the national mainstream media to report
achievements and issues like the ones
which | have covered for you in these
weekly reports. On the other hand, | do
think it is true that the attacks of special

about the contfoversial aspects of
bilingualism, immigration, refugees,
multiculturalism, and native land claims.
Anyone who dares to question the
established system is immediately
accused of sacism, extremism, or.
intolerance, making it virtually impossible
to deal rationally with a whole range of
very real problems.

| have no way of knowing whether
these weekly reports are read mainly by
Reform supporters, or by people who hold
a representative cross section of political
beliefs, but because ! am the MP for
everyone in the Riding, | decided to ask
you to answer the following questions, and
to mail or fax the survey back to me.
Clearly, this is NOT a_ scientifically
structured sampling of opinion, but if |
receive more than 500 replies | will be
fairly confident that the feedback is
reasonably representative of the majority
position. Please keep in mind that these
questions are NOT about my personal

interest groups have managed to performance as your MP.
