We regret that we are unable to supply you with reliable e-mail addresses for The Conservative Party MPP's as their generic e-mail addresses to Queens Park appear to work only during election campaigns

This committee finds this behaviour an abuse of power and an injustice to the people of Ontario

Nevertheless, there are two links provided here. The first is a list of MPP's with their mailing address, their phone and fax numbers. The second link is a list of MPP's with e-mail. We urge you to utilize the above links to inform your local MPP of your feelings towards privatization.

The above two links take you away from our site - we have just updated this page with our own version of the above material and it has all the info you need to e-mail, phone or fax MPP's. (use the external links to get at their snailmail address)
Thanks for getting involved in our project - Jim & POKO
