Newmarket-Aurora MP Lois Brown wants to hear your views and priorities for the upcoming federal Budget 2009.

“I’m asking residents in Newmarket and Aurora to participate in the important budget process by attending a Pre-Budget Consultation meeting,” said Ms. Brown. “Federal budget 2009 is a crucial step towards our economic recovery and it’s essential we have input and direction from the public. All comments, verbal and written, are welcome and will be forwarded directly to the Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty.”

The Pre-Budget Consultation Town Hall meeting takes place on Thursday, January 8, 2009, at the Aurora Town Hall Council Chambers, located at 1 Municipal Drive in Aurora beginning at 7:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend, however participants interested in making a formal deputation will need to pre-register. Everyone in attendance will have an opportunity to provide their input. For more information or to pre-register, contact Lois Brown’s Constituency Office at 905-953-7515 or email Brownlo@parl.gc.ca.
