The guidelines identify the Affirmative Action Policy as an available tool to bring about necessary changes. Women's com- missions are another tool identified. "Working together, women can provide a strong presence in the political areha and ensure that their collective voice is heard on every elected body in the (Liberal) party and in the government," concludes the guidelines. The women forming the founding commit- tee are Mrs. Hill, Sue Clark; Ruth Neilson and Laurens Armstrong all of Stratford and" Elizabeth Willems of Mitchell and Kathryn McCotter of St. Marys.
