<br /> Would you consider having an open line where your constituents could suggest and vote on issues being raised in the HOC or that I would like raised in the HOC? Would this info be open to our scrutiny?<br /> <br /> My MP has sent out questionnaires to me on specific issues that are party-line related and I have filled them out with the issues "I" am concerned about her standing up for because my concerns are never related to the CP agenda. Also you cannot be counted in the survey unless you fill out personal information that I find none of their business. I end up using her survey to voice my objections mainly.<br />

4C - it's not to do with Catherine specifically. The Board of Vive Le Canada decided at the last meeting that Vive should draft a questionairre to all MP's and candidates in the next election, and get Vive readers involved in what questions to ask. <br /> <br /> Before you vote for someone - what questions would you ask them?<br />

That first thing I said. That would be my question. Is it weird or something? I think I understood what was being asked, no?

I would ask them if they support NAFTA. If yes then I wouldn't vote for them.

Yes putting a questionaire together is a great idea!Get it out to the politicians and lets see what they say.

Some of the Questions I would ask would be <br /> 1) Who are you proposing to represent and which has priority when they conflict, Yourself, Your Riding, Your Party, Your Province, Your Country?<br /> 2) Will you vote on proposals based upon their merit or what your party leader dictates, will you support cooperation between party’s in the house.<br /> 3) Do you support the foreign control of our food, energy & natural resources, should large corporations receive government loans or subsidies.<br /> 4) What will you and your party do to support our farm & rural communities, how will you ensure that farmers receive a fair return for their labor.<br /> 5) Do you believe in more government control and support in our society or do you believe that people and businesses should not rely on governments as much.<br /> 6) What do you believe should be the main focus of the Federal government, should Provincial governments have more or less power and in what areas of interest.<br /> <br /> On these and more specific issues the manner in which the questions are answered would be as important as the content. A candidate that regurgitates the party platform verbatim or typically does not answer the specific question but turns it into an opportunity to either praise their own party’s position or dump on another party’s platform would immediately go to the bottom of the heap. I suspect it will get rather crowded there!<br /> In other words I favour an independent thinker who would hopefully coincide with a party I could "live with", hope we get a CAP candidate here!
