Omnibus Bill and Cranbrook

For those wondering what the fuss is about it is easy to do a Google search and find out more about this bill which encompasses a lot more than budget.  At the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce weekly luncheon David Wilks was questioned about the new allowances for cross border shoppers and the potential effect on Cranbrook businesses for example.  Many are concerned about the changes to environmental assessment - but the list goes on and time is short to fully evaluate the ramifications of all that is contained within this bill.
For a brief look at what the Huffington Post considers to be 15 of the major topics contained within this bill;

For those who would like to encourage our MP David Wilks to do the right and democratic thing and vote for the concerns of his constituents, there will a show of support at noon today, Friday May 25th, outside his office.
