CLC Letter to Hon. Tony Clement

While Canada is in the midst of the greatest recession in recent times,
our Federal Government has seen fit to use the bad times to attack
working people for their only sin, that of working for one of the many
employers who are on the brink of financial disaster. Not a single

Honourable Tony Clement, Federal Minister of Industry on April 17th.
