BREITKREUZ RENOMINATED AS CANADIAN ALLIANCE CANDIDATE

Garry Breitkreuz, Member of Parliament, was renominated as the Yorkton-Melville Canadian Alliance candidate. The nomination meeting was held at the Legion Hall in Yorkton on Friday evening, May 30^th.

Although Breitkreuz was the only nominee, the Canadian Alliance constitution requires that the membership decide whether or not they wish to have him be their candidate at the time of the next election.  The vote took place after a notice was published in the local newspapers soliciting nominations from anyone wishing to challenge the incumbent as required by the Canadian Alliance constitution.

The M.P. addressed the membership outlining some of the issues before Parliament.  He also described the work he has been doing in Ottawa, across the country and in the riding for the past four years.  A question and answer session followed his speech with topics including agriculture, Canada-U.S. relations, the political ramifications of the Tory leadership race and the lack of democracy in Ottawa.

Breitkreuz concluded the evening by thanking the membership for their 100% vote of confidence and reaffirmed his commitment to servicing the constituents of Yorkton-Melville to the best of his ability.
