TIPS ON CONTACTING POLITICIANS

Set out below are links so you can find the contact information first for federal politicians, and below that for provincial and territorial politicians.

For the federal government, you can find out details of current public consultation processes on the following Canadian government website: Canadian Federal Government's Consultation Information Site

Since 2001, Canadians have had a right to participate in federal government consultations, especially as a community group, under rules set out in the Canadian Federal Government's Accord with Citizen Groups (the so-called "Voluntary Sector") and Codes of Good Practice in Policy Dialogue and Funding.

When writing to a politician, it is best to send a hand-written or typed letter expressing your concerns and any personal experience you have had with the problem you are addressing, and clearly setting out the law, regulation, policy or program you want the politician to implement to solve the problem or to address your concern.

You can also send your letter by fax. Emails, petitions, and postcards are not as effective as letters as many politicians disregard them because they are so easy to sign and send.

It is important to write to your Member of the House of Commons (known as your "MP"), but always also send a copy to the responsible Minister as they have the power to change laws, regulations, policies or programs and need to hear from citizens directly.

For details concerning the changes to laws, regulations, policies and programs advocated by Democracy Watch, follow the Action Alert link on each of Democracy Watch's campaign webpages.
