As our members from Ontario may be aware, we are heading into the fourth month of a strike at all DriveTest locations throughout the province. This strike has halted many services including new-driver tests, road tests and driver's licence renewals.

Fall 2008 > Issue 68
It has been a busy summer on the political front here at the CSA. In July, I, along with research and communications officer Michael MacKenzie, sat down with Ontario’s deputy leader of the Opposition and critic for health and long-term care, Elizabeth Witmer. Ms. Witmer, who has represented the people of Kitchener-Waterloo in the Ontario legislature for the past 18 years, also served as Ontario’s minister of health from 1997-2001.
