In speaking with other caucus members in Ottawa, many of them have held Passport Clinics over the past few years and experienced tremendous success. I thought this would be a great way to bring one of the many feder- al government services to all of the communities in the riding. We held our first passport clinics the week of Feb. 16. Between Sea - forth and Exeter we helped close to 180 people with their passport ap- plications. i Our third clinic in Lucknow had to be postponed due to weather: and has been ' rescheduled for March 18. from6:30--9p.m: We had many staff and volunteers on hand to help people complete their passport applications. Rather than travelling to Kitchen- er or London to process their appli- cations and wait up to three hours, people were able to attend a clinic - in their community and have their applications sent .. directly to Pass- port Canada. The current processing tune for passports is between two to four weeks. In the month of January,. Passport Canada processed 349,000 applications. People should also note that .as of June 1, 2009 a U.S. law will require . all Canadians to present a valid passport to enter the. United States by water or land. If anyone was unable to attend the clinic, I invite you to contact one of my constituency offices and my staff oronto can't dump says: Ontario Fey To the Editor, Re: Trapping and Relocating Coyotes The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) strongly objects to any suggestion that coyotes from Toronto, or any other -urban centre, be trapped and relocated when they pose -a : nuisance to urban residents and/or their pets• .{.

We had a lot of positive feedback` from constituents and'will continue to hold these clinics throughout the riding to help deliver real, practical services to your doorstep..
