Congress
of North American Bosniaks, Canada Branch (CNABC) Calls on Diaspora to
Strengthen Canada – Bosnia and Herzegovina Parliamentary Friendship Group
(CBiHPF Group)

CNABC is
pleased to inform you that we are now working with the Bosnian diaspora in
Canada to encourage all Members of Canadian Parliament to join the CBiHPF
Group.  The CBiHPF Group will be a powerful force for the good of Canada
and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It aims to strengthen bilateral relations between
the two countries, direct attention to the needs of Bosnian –
Canadians, and present the values of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Canadian
society.

The
Group’s Executive currently consists of five Parliamentarians and longstanding
friends of Bosnia and Herzegovina:

Chair:  MP Dave
MacKenzie

Vice Chair:  MP
Brian Masse

Vice Chair:  MP
Bernard Trottier

Executive Member:
MP Nina Grewal

Executive Member:
Senator Raynell Andreychuk

In
addition, close to 30 Parliamentarians have confirmed their membership in the
Group, and this number is growing.

We are
encouraging voting citizens who support a democratic and prosperous Bosnia and
Herzegovina to be proactive on this issue by contacting their Member of
Parliament and asking them to join the CBiHPF Group. We hope that the Bosnian
diaspora in Canada will now actively engage in the Group’s activities.

Dear MP

My name
is (your name and surname) and as your constituent from (your place of
residence), I am writing to ask you to join the newly formed Canada – Bosnia
and Herzegovina Parliamentary Friendship Group (CBiHPF Group). Joining this
Group will help demonstrate that you deeply care about issues important to your
Bosnian-Canadian voters. Today, there are more than 50.000
Bosnian–Canadians living in Canada, and as you know, many of those live in your
riding.

In recent
years, the Government of Canada has played an integral role in the promotion of
good governance, peace keeping, as well as the strengthening of state-level
institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. With your support and membership in the
CBiHPF Group we can continue to build stronger bilateral relations between
Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and further assist Bosnia and Herzegovina as
it continues to mature and prosper.

The
Group’s Executive currently consists of five Parliamentarians and longstanding
friends of Bosnia and Herzegovina:

Chair: MP Dave MacKenzie

Should you have any questions on how to become a member of the
Canada-Bosnia and Herzegovina Parliamentary Friendship Group please have your
staff contact the CBiHPF Group directly at cbihpfg@gmail.com .

I
sincerely hope you will join this bipartisan Group as a committed supporter of
a free, democratic, and sovereign Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as of your
local Bosnian-Canadian community.

Friendship Group.
