We, the undersigned citizens of Canada, draw to the attention of Mr. Stephen Harper Prime Minister of Canada, and Mr. Michael Fortier Minister of Public Works, the following:

THAT Mr. Michael Fortier did not run in the federal election of January 23, 2006 and was not elected in any riding in Canada in that election, and

THAT we firmly believe that Canadians should be represented both in the Parliament of Canada and in Cabinet only by democratically elected representatives elected by us, the citizens of Canada.

THEREFORE, we call on Mr. Michael Fortier to immediately resign his post as Minister of Public Works. We further call on Mr. Stephen Harper to appoint Mr. Michael Fortier to the Senate only when and if he is democratically elected to that position.

Sincerely,
