CRPP recognized by Quebec Parliamen



Subject: Re: CRPP recognized by Quebec Parliament

Good to see the Quebec resolution posted.  However, the title is somewhat
misleading.   Although it has diplomatic representation in several
capitals,  Quebec did not recognize the CRPP, but calls on the Canadian
government to do so.  People who want to find out more about the
resolution, debate, and the members of the legislature who spoke to it,
might want to check out the  Quebec National Assembly website:

The key to getting the resolution moved in the legislature was the Speaker
of the Assembly, Jean-Pierre Charbonneau, who has also committed himself to
carrying the process through from where it's at now.  There's lots to be
learned from the process in Quebec and other places.  

One thing is the valuable role played by NCGUB leaders.  Dr. Sein Win and U
Bo Hla Tint have been available when needed to do some quiet lobbying in
the background both in Quebec and in other provinces in Canada that are
working on this process.
