The Huron Expositor • March 4, 2009 Pop
Huron -Bruce MP will be holding more passport clinics
To the Editor,
A few weeks ago my staff and I
held the first of many passport clin-
ics in the riding. 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

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• .{.
Firstly, it is illegal to release nuisance wildlife more
would be happy to help you. Our toll
free number is 1-877-524-6560.
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..
Sincerely,
Ben :Lobb,1V1.P.
